This favorite picture book of our family's is a bit how my life feels at the moment... the story in the book is if you give a mouse a cookie he is going to want a glass of milk to go with it, and on and on it continues throughout the book. And how does that play in my life at the moment? Well it started with a dining room table (that alone is worth a post of it's own) and then the decision to put in hardwood floors, which led to the discovery of the original hardwood floors, and the subsequent uncovering of those floors all.weekend.long (oh the dust and the dirt and the general ewwww this project has presented) to the realization that the walls will need to painted, since removing all those layers of floor will now require the trim to be lowered, and no a nice 1" strip around the perimeter of the room is not part of my styling sense.
So here it is Monday morning, the floors are completely uncovered, and aside from a few spots in the kitchen they are in amazing shape. A few spots (mostly kitchen) will need to be pieced since currently plywood is filling the area. Overall it looks good, the contractors will be coming on Monday to begin the refinishing and hopefully by the end of the week it will be done. Except for the dusting. Walls are being painted this week so they too will be done before the floor is done, and when all is said and done it will be awesome, and I will have just removed most of the spring cleaning areas from my list...it's just getting there that is stressing me out at the moment.
