Since my last entry on January 13, things have improved greatly at this old house. We did spend any spare moment in Februrary with a paint brush in our hands, painting the kitchen, living room, dining room, hallway, front entry, basement stairs, basement, and new basement bathroom. Every one of those things in a different color. We invited several lovely souls to help us and did get it done just in time to move up to New Brighton while they refinished our floors on the first level. Floors were done and ready for us just as we jumped in our car to head out for a DuNord winter getaway. Tough to leave when we had so much to do back here, but we survived.
Since getting back in to the house, we've spent weekends making it back into our home. We were finally able to put a rug down yesterday, which has decreased on the echoing. All in all, I love it. It's much more open, much more user-friendly, and the teen lair in the basement has been well-utilized already. We hosted 7 boys here to work on History Day projects and hardly knew they were in the house.
