small house, big MESS

The couch is arm to ottoman.  The piano bench is "decorated" in pillows.  Guest room full of dining room chairs, lamps, and everything in between.  I thought we moved already?

Take a look:

Don't worry Mom, the piano is not being "smushed."  Promise.

Our weekend has been jam-packed.  We removed flooring:

Thanks Sush and Dave!!!

Sold old flooring on Craig's List:

Bought trim from Lowe's:

5.25"--it rocks

Loaded trim into our Passat.  Way to go VW/little car that makeshifts as a truck, kind of:

Removed old trim:

Touched up paint before new floor install:

Opened boxes of new flooring to allow acclamation to humidity/house for 24-48 hours pre-install:

and did a little decor shopping--OOPS slightly over budget, but hey, we did sell the old flooring:

The rug is PERFECT-- Moroccan-Kladioscope fusion.  Pier 1 sale!  It picks up the orange in the chair and will work to "warm" the room.  I had been dead-set on a gray rug, gray is the new taupe, right? But then I saw this and loved the COLORS.

So the small house is a BIG mess, but fingers-crossed it will be well worth it!  Can't wait for David Jeffries to arrive to get the small house, BIG install going.
