Home Improvement

I live in a fairly old house. I am not sure exactly how old it is, but when my ex husband and I bought it 15 years ago, it was the perfect 'starter' home.

We basically purchased it, slapped some white paint on every wall in the place and replaced some carpet in three rooms. End of story.

Fast forward to present day. I have had enough of living in what remains a reminder to me of what once was. So the only way to do that is to do some major changing.

First up, my bedroom.  I did not take any 'before' photos because I did not want to remember it the way that it was and I definitely was not going to share with the outside world. The carpet had become horrid!  I swear I will never 'do' carpet again.

My project included painting the walls and replacing the carpet with vinyl wood floors! I love them!

The color in these photos looks almost 'pink' but they are actually a very light tan. I wanted something neutral so I could decorate however I choose.

Brand spanking new flooring!

My new wooden blinds! No more of those yucky-impossible-to-clean vinyl mini blinds.  These are fresh and clean and oh so pretty!

After I get the chance to visit Hobby Lobby and decorate my walls and the rest of my bedroom, I will share more photos. Hopefully it will not take me another 15 years!

Next up for the home improvement- my living room!
