I’m floored!

We finished the floor and the floor transition strips yesterday! Woo Hoo! I wish I had my camera here so the colors would look right, but all I have is my iPhone and that will have to do. I think you’ll get the idea. I’m very pleased with it! I have to repaint the ceiling and I’ve decided to paint an accent wall two shades darker than the cabinets – a woman’s perrogative, right? Right! Well, even after just one coat I like it so well I’m making it the main color and leaving the original light tan color as the accent wall! Unless I change my mind again.
Once that’s done, we can start painting the ceiling and floor moldings, the doors and my bedroom. Then I can begin moving in! I can do the rest of the painting once we’re settled. I still want to paint the guest room and all the window trim in the house, but those are minor and can certainly wait!
I’m hoping to have so many orders that I don’t have time to paint. Last week stunk for business and December is always slow, especially the last 2 weeks. So I have to make all I can make in the first 2 weeks of December. Wish me luck!
Happy last day of November! Big Hugs ♥xo

Wow! This really rocks. You’ve done a spectacular job remodeling this home. I know you are going to love it. I certainly would. Awesome.
I’m wishing you so much business in the next two weeks that you have absolutely no time for painting. There you go.
Have a terrific day. Big hug and lots of scritches to The Boys.

Wow, congratulations! It looks fantastic. You must feel such a sense of accomplishment.

It looks great.
I love your raspberry walls so much I am thinking about using the color in my laundry/pantry room. I am going to run by Lowe’s tomorrow and look and paint strips.
Wishing you tons of orders.

Love it! What did you use? Hardwood, laminate?
We’re looking to rip up the tasty-to-EG carpet and I’m wondering what to put down. We’ve got a laminate in the spare room and I love it, but they don’t make it any more.
