friday night adventure...

...in this house? it means a little do it yourself home improvement. tonight's mission was to pull up that awful carpet in our bedroom. seeing as our room has gotten no love since we bought this house, we thought it was about time to get to work on it. and the first thing to go was that carpet. we had very low expectation on this one and we agreed that no matter how bad the floor might be, we would throw down some rugs and call it good for now. with a one hundred year old house, you just never know what you might find. so... drumroll please... we were ecstatic to find gorgeous hardwood floors underneath. in super condition! score! we knew there would be wood, but we had no idea what it might look like. to our surprise, it only needs some minor repairs-- ones that can be fixed in no time! seriously people, look at the (poor quality) photos, is that major improvement or what? the next thing on the list will be to actually buy some grown up furniture. like another dresser or an armoire and hopefully a nice bed too. but unless we have equal amounts of luck with a money tree spouting up in the backyard, those changes might take a little more patience.
