its FINALLY done!!!

this lovely project started MONTHS ago. ew. thank goodness we got them done!
here is our nasty carpet. its about 8 years old. gross gross and gross.

best day EVER!!! goodbye nasty carpet.


thumbs up for the new wood!!! brandon doesnt look too excited to lay it though...
bran's never done this, so he needed a little help. he did amazing though!

this crap was EVERYWHERE. still is. i cant wait to have my house clean again.
this was my house for about 2 weeks. ew.


this was my counter for months. ew again.
its all laid down. started sanding. more sawdust all over.
bran worked so hard! he was always dirty and completely worn out by the end of the day.

i got to help with the putty part. not too bad. then sand 'em down.
we lived in our room for 2 days. going in and out of the window haha i'm sure the neighbors loved watching this. our furniture smashed in the kitchen.
putting the top coat on! looks so good! but smelled so bad!
brans favorite piece!
bran's finished project! it looks amazing! we're happy with it

OOOOOOO they look SO GOOD!! We're hopefully getting rid our OUR nasty carpet that's totally TWO YEARS OLDER than what you had. Yeah. Yuck. But we won't have the time/energy/expertise/sweet hookups to get real wood like you. But I'm ok with that.
