house improvements

[kismet09]

The view at the left is the house when we moved in - wood panelling, beige, textured wallpaper, very soft, but already aging carpeting that only got older once the dogs moved in.  The right shows off our newly-finished floors and paint updates.  Hopefully this will help with the resale value!  Our POD arrives some time today, so I can start loading boxes.  My house is feeling claustrophobic with all the box piles.

no, we hired people - the hardwood was already there under the carpet, but we had to have the carpet pulled, floors sanded and refinished. if we had had the time, we might've tried. we're having laminate put into the kitchen, which we could totally do ourselves if we could afford the labor hours, but things are too insane with our jobs to be able to make time for it...

That's kind of how I feel. I eventually want to put hardwood in most of my condo. And I'm sure I could do it. But working two jobs? There's just no way. I haven't even been able to find the time to paint my living room... have even been thinking about hiring someone to do that...
