Renovation Time

Well, It seems that the old lady had decided that it was time to do something. So instead of something fun like go to a park or see a movie, she "suggested" that we put hardwood floors down throughout the downstairs. Yeah, loads of fun... Anywho. I figured it was either 4 days of pain and torture that would kill my wallet, or 12 years of unending agony of listening to how much "my husband doesn't love me!"
So I wimped out and did the floors. (yes, I am whipped, nothing new here) Anyhow, here are some of the pictures from the rework of the area..

(hint) we went from the yellow and white bookcase to the hardwood and cherry bookcases. so that should help you figure out the before and after.
Anyhow, so now that that is over with, I can breathe for a few moments while she sits back going: " you know what honey? You know what would look REALLY nice in here...?"
-and I pray for a quick and painless release...









-Also here is a video of the floors being worked on. (I knew those kids would come in handy some day!)
