No More Living Out of a Suitcase!

So we lived in our living/dining room for more than a month like this!

So we had the office, then the bed is in the middle off to the right, and the living room yonder!
 
This is why. Old, dark, wrinkled carpet throughout the upstairs. 

We factored solid oak into our asking price.

So here is our FROG now! What is a FROG you may wonder as we did when house hunting? It is the finished room over the garage.

For the first time, I am going to have a very large work space. So excited!

The bedrooms look amazing too!

We went with pre-finished red oak. It is loaded with character and will look great with antiques!

It is funny how the paint colors change the color of the wood's appearance.

We are so pleased with the results. As someone who seriously dislikes vacuuming, this makes me really, really happy. Worth every penny and inconvenience!

Hardwood throughout is uncommon here due to the humidity. However as long as we keep the A/C running during the rough months it will be fine. The floors are 9 years old downstairs and they still look great!

It will be a process now unpacking and looking for furniture. At least we no longer have to live out of suitcases like we had been doing for over 3 months!!!

We also want to paint 2 of the bedrooms that are currently little girl colors. 😀

Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
