Lee Bailey, god of hardwoods, is in the Decatur Project. Right. Now. Seeing him makes my heart sing, because every time he is here he rips out nasty carpet and gives us gorgeous hardwood floors. He is back to finish up the house starting today, ripping out the carpet in the entry, front hallway, living room, and dining room. Which means everyone needs to pour one out for this gorgeousness…
See you later, crunchy, dirty, nasty, dusty, rose encrusted carpet. You had a good life. You helped us out enormously during the kitchen reno – protecting the what lies beneath from potential dings inflicted by a tile saw or circular saw or primer or paint (all being used in the dining room) or large kitchen appliances being stored in the living room. For that, we will be forever grateful.
Lee Bailey offered to make us a doormat from a piece of the carpet. We politely declined. Onward and upward! Pics to follow when gorgeousness and order is restored.
Woo hoo! That is awesome Meg! I am hoping we can do that “already paid for” social hour at your house next week so I can see them. You guys have really knocked this thing out. I think we blog readers are due a final reveal soon, no?
