Flooring

We have had carpet in our living room the whole time. Ive hated it. Chris has always been pro carpet. Once I found out we had real old hardwood under our floors Ive been dying to rip it up.  I figured Id lost the battle and we would have carpet for a while. We got two stains on our carpet that we couldnt get out. We had shampood them twice, tried stain treatments etc and they were just stuck. Monday Chris was off for the holiday and he had enough. He said "Im so sick of this carpet I want to just rip it out!!" I said go ahead! Lets do it!... and thats all it took. 

 The floor was ssssoooo filthy underneath.

 We hated the tile in the entry way. We have 3 different colors of tile in our house and this one was broken underneath and junk.. 

 So we ripped that out too.

 We took out all the baseboards too..They were white. Gag. That lead to a discussion about the fire place area. When we put it in 3 years ago it was what we could afford and to get something in quick. It wasnt so much what we wanted. We got to talking and really wanted a rock hearth and a mantle. We figured we are going to have to paint the walls anyways.. sand the floors.. put in new baseboards.. whats one more thing! So Todd came over to help us carry out the fire place and we ripped out the tile.

Look how great our floors look already and all I did was sweep them! I cant wait until we get it all complete. We figure it will be our summer project. We left our floors rough just like this for now until we get the fire place stuff back in and the walls painted and I love them so much already!!
