RENOVATION--AGAIN?

How about a "CHOCOLATE" wall?

I'm certain that everyone who knows us will be surprised to learn that we are fixing up another house to make it "home." We have a rental in a PUD with a bigger garage and a little more room for family visits so our plan was to move there when the lease was complete. Of course, when the tenant left, there was considerable wear and tear and a lot of painting to be done. Some of the carpet was pretty bad so we decided to replace the living and dining carpet with hardwood floors. Then we realized that the ceilings weren't white. The whole house was one color- kind of a coral light pink. Steve painted the ceilings white and we had the floors installed while we were in Florida.

This past week the painting frenzy began. We've painted walls and all the trim a contrasting white. We've also changed out light fixtures and added some new ones to increase the light. This next week Steve will put travertine in the master bath and Mike C. will put in new carpet in some of the rooms. We're also having some additional cabinets added in the kitchen. Soon we'll have the place about half way to Steve's standards. I will say that it's looking better every day. Steve takes a spaghetti dinner break amidst the paint supplies on Friday night.

Thankfully we have a new tenant who wants to move into our current place the last week of April. Hooray! We're ecstatic about renting this out so quickly.

Today we had the Draper Temple Dedication. It was very inspirational. Tonight we put on our parkas and walked in the rain. The temperature dropped from the mid-70's yesterday to 43. The forecast calls for snow tomorrow. Oh, we know it's spring when it snows on the daffodils.
