What flooring we have managed to installed is simply beautiful! This side of our living room is beginning to come together just as I had envisioned it. {Don and I are installing it ourselves to save some $$$.} We worked on it late yesterday afternoon and managed to get it from the west wall over to the kitchen doorway where we will continue finishing it up today. We had to stop as Don had to work yesterday evening and I went to the Popcorn parade with Amber, Chris, and Alexxis. This was Alexxis' first time at a parade, and in a large group of people. She enjoyed herself immensely, laughing, cooing, and squealing with delight! Near the end of the parade, we left to go to the actual Popcorn Festival for some sandwiches and french fries. A wonderful time was had by all of us.
Today's agenda is to finish laying the flooring, then cleaning it thoroughly, moving furniture back into place, ect. We have yet to purchase new baseboards but since there isn't a lot of furniture to be moved out of the space, we will adding that in a later date. That shouldn't prove to be too difficult to do as there are only two corners and the walls tie in to two doorways --- one entering the kitchen and the other the front door. Once the furniture is moved, I'm thinking I will set out to re-arranging the opposite side of the room. I've been desiring to do that, just hate fighting with all the electrical components to the TV.
Tomorrow while Don is working, I can tie up more loose ends and in the evening we'll be heading to Mansfield to set up for the Antiques and Collectible show to be held on Sunday. Don is hopeful he will do well there. Like any show of this nature a lot depends upon the amount of people who show up and whether or not they are purchasing.
We've managed to keep up with the majority of the remaining housework as we've accomplished this so I should be able to dive right back in to my artful life near the beggining of next week. I am really inspired to get to working on a few things that have only been in my head for some time and actually get them out into the light of day. More to come soon, I promise.
