Blissful Becky: Home Happenings.

Hey there guys and gals. I can't believe September is wrapping up already. Seems like just yesterday we were closing on our home & heading to Home Depot for some paint. Man, that day was such a treasure. Here we are now, two months into our new place, and the makeovers begin. We were very fortunate to have found a place with a lot of features that we already loved, causing us not to have to do a ton of home improvements. However, thanks to the 15 minute nightmare (water pipe bursting in the downstairs bathroom several hours after we moved in) we are having to redo our downstairs flooring sooner than we had planned. It was a thick shag carpet that felt great on your toes, but because of water damage, we decided to remove all of the carpet & tile, and bought hardwood flooring from Home Depot. We are so blessed with great people in our lives to help us through this first time home owner renovations. Our friend Bill helped Jearen on Saturday with all of the dirty prep work. Several hours later, and a TON of dust later, they finished the first steps to getting our new flooring down. We are still waiting for the flooring that we ordered to come in, and then we will move forward with the next steps. I will be thrilled when this is all done, but in the mean time, I'm enjoying the process (especially seeing my hot husband working hard to make this the best place ever!) Oh, and I threw in a before & after pic of the old window & shutters above our bed. :)
