Set up the new bed in the guest room!

Now that the new bed is set up, who will be my first visitor? It is memory foam too!!

A place of my own!

So, I finally did it. I bit the bullet and bought my own home. Last week, when I closed on the house (or shall we say cottage, it’s a whopping 712 square feet), there was semi-newish white carpeting in the living room and one of the bedrooms. In the other bedroom was the original hardwood floor exposed. The house was built in 1943, so these floors are nothing spectacular, but they’re loads better than carpet. So I made up my mind, invited over my sister, and began ripping up the carpet.

Like my previous post about removing carpet, when you first begin to peel away the layers, it’s reminiscent of archaeology. What will I find? So I found more hardwood floor! It wasn’t in too bad of condition- definitely needs refinishing, but that begins next week (and I’m definitely not in charge).
