RL has been busy...
So, way back in autumn, Darcy asked me what I wanted for my 40th.
I said a new floor (preferably wooden!) for the dining room (as we have lived with The World's Ugliest Carpet ever since we moved in 10+ years ago). He did not like this answer, as that would mean A LOT OF WORK.
I said: fine, forget it.
However, after a while he decided that it was a good idea, and the floor has slowly become reality over the past months. He bought the wood, and tongue & grooved it, and eventually levelled the floor and laid the wood and then sanded it and waxed it. SO MUCH WORK.
But oh, it was worth it. This was what I came home to last Monday (the last image - he took pictures as he finished it):
As he bought enough wood for the front room also, we will at some point get that done also. Ideally we'd also have decorated the dining room, as it sorely needs it - but hey, maybe we'll win the lottery one of these days.
But for now, this has been enough - I have spent all weekend just *cleaning* because there is dust EVERYWHERE. But oh, so worth it. <333
And that's the main reason I've not been around much.

We knew exactly what was under ours, as it had been coming up at the sides for years... (Ugh so ugly and tattered)
And no matter how much work it'll be, it will worth it! That floor is now my daily pride and joy. :D
