Ahhhh pictures.. everyone ready?

Now take your seats and get ready to view some interesting *cough*boring*cough* pictures of our house renovations.... I know.. just let me get this thing set up.. talk amoungst yourselves while I do that... I gotta search back through my pics to find the old ones to compare with my new ones...

Step one is admitting your house is ugly ... step two is admitting you're not powerless over ugliness.. step three is getting off your butt (or in this case R getting off HIS butt) and doing something about it...

Notice the floor covering (vinyl flooring or oilcloth as me mum used to call it) that is less attractive than ... say... bare subfloor... the pukey wall paper, the burgundy and green outdated color combination.. the mint green paint above the chair rail.... on second thought don't look too long or you may get the hives... Personally, I think the lone shoe in front of the woodstove adds a nice touch.. and the dog seems embarrassed that I'm actually taking a picture of this room ... but fear not... things will improve

Here is the new and improved version... as you can tell the laminate flooring adds a touch of class that is complimented by the calming undertones of the rest of the ensemble ... note the muted paint color.. a sort of taupe that is reflected in the texturing in the wallpaper... ahhh yes it is wallpaper.. but such classy stuff... the darker below and lighter above have similar shades of the brown/gray/taupe with small "threads" of gold.. it's a sight to behold... we can all bow our heads in a silent prayer of thanks... aaaaammmennnn....


*notice even Missy is new and improved with her nifty little hair bow.. oh no, we spared no expense... *
