I can't imagine doing all that work. What a blessing to have friends and your son help.

Girl, rough job, but, you'll be thoroughly delighted once everything is tucked back into place. Gorgeous floor color. Not too light, not too dark, juuuuust right. Take your time putting things up or away. Don't overdo things or I'll have to come down there and shake my finger at you, lol! We need our floors refinished here, but I'm in no hurry. Got more important things ahappenin' right now. Thanks for keeping us up to date, and loved seeing the pix. Take good care of yourself sweetheart.

With the darker flooring, the walls look very easy on the eye, being a light color. It brightens the area, while the deep tones of the wood floor look so elegant. Take your time putting things away. I still haven't put back all the 'wall stuff' that had to be taken down. You'll probably find some of it, you don't want to put back. Brett & your friends did a splendid job!

I was surprised that they need to be swept more often than the carpet needed vacuuming, but that fact made me realize just how filthy my carpeting probably was!! I think you were right to go with the neutral wall color with that floor and your darker furniture. The walls can easily be changed once you get everything put back together and art on the walls so you can get the total picture. Sometimes creamy walls warm up when everything is put back. Don't forget to take some time every day to have a quiet rest so you don't overdo it! I worry about you!

I hate carpet!! Want it all gone!!<br />Bet it's fun watching the babies slipping and sliding. Ours did that too when we first got the living room done.<br />The task of putting everything back is the worst of it all!!<br />When we redid our bathroom last year, putting everything back into the closet was a real task. I did throw away a lot of stuff though!! :)<br />Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16451368844320969413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497071172006284715.post-36632410712644847842016-08-22T17:58:20.248-04:002016-08-22T17:58:20.248-04:00Oh Brenda this is just gorgeous.

Now you can take your time and decide what you want back in. I still only have two pictures up and hardly anything on the mantle. I just haven't found anything that I truly love and don't want to put just anything up. I actually like the clean look. I had to have everything out for Bill to be able to find so it is nice to have a spare look right now. Except for my craft room, which does look like a hoarder lives here! Be careful with the dogs on your new floor. I have a plastic office mat under my chair and Molly hit that running, slid across the mat and dislocated her knee. I bet Savannah is growing so fast and is adorable.Brenda in INhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14969730870421247874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497071172006284715.post-47267789335825696222016-08-22T17:05:14.446-04:002016-08-22T17:05:14.446-04:00Looks great Brenda.

We had Pergo laminate put all through our place 15 years ago and it's still like new (DH is full time wheelchair user) the only thing is, now after all this time, in some places where we have patio doors, the sun creeps in under the floor to ceiling vertical blinds and has slightly discoloured those areas, it's only in those areas though and not that noticeable really, because the blinds obscure it. Don't forget to rest yourself, we don't want you getting ill, because you've worn yourself out! have a good week my friend!
