We invested a hefty chunk of change and time this past weekend in fixing up the new house. I'm about to show you the before pictures and I just want to warn you that they are gross. Seriously, we've been living on chipped up terrazo and super-stained carpet for a month now. It's so gross I'm a little embarrassed that the internet will now know I let my kids walk around on this, but it makes for much more dramatic after photos. :)
Okay, so ghetto-floor:



After many hours of measuring, cutting and feeding a bunch of hungry, single guys from church (Thanks Matt, Chris, Ed & Colin) . . .


We managed to do the whole 1200 square feet of the house that aren't the kitchen, bathroom or laundry room. Every square foot. Complete with crack-a-lacking 5 1/4 inch floor trim. It makes all the paint pop and the house look like a completely different house. A house that I really like living in (which, let me tell you, it was not before).




The girls really like it. :)
