Here's our new wood flooring in the living room. LOVE IT!!! Bertelli Flooring did the work. And such a fine job they did. They had to blend it with the old and then refinish all to make it look like its always been there. The view above is from the front door into the living room (where nasty carpet was).
Above is the front room and the fireplace. They really did a fabulous job. We stayed at Bob's mom in Chicago for the last 4 days while they put down the several layers of finish. When we returned on Tuesday, it was all done. The clean up was great. I barely had to dust anything in the kitchen!
Above, is the master bedroom. Can't wait to get everything back to normal. We now are waiting for the painter. He will caulk and paint the floor boards since they had to be removed to put down the floor and then nailed back on. So while he's here, we will have him paint the living room, entryway and dining area. So, we continue to live in the basement. Worth the wait!!
This is the color for the dining area, kitchen and entryway.
The swatch in the outlet cover is the color for the living room.
This is the swatch for the master bedroom. Sorry they really don't come across very well. Which is exactly how I feel about choosing wall colors....absolutely a leap of faith!! But, I'm excited to see how it all comes together.
We donated several things to Salvation army,so the living room really will be a 'blank canvas'. Don't even know what will be going in there!
While we were in Chicago, we took Grandma Strug to Beloit to visit with Lauren. It was still a 2 hour drive from her house to get there. But it was a beautiful day and she got to see the college and Lauren, of course.

On Sunday, we celebrated Marianna Belko's birthday. Marianna is Bob's niece-in-law. She and husband Matthew have 3 kids and live in Crown Point , Indiana. Matthew is Bob's sister, Carol's son. Anyway, we had lunch at Olive Garden, not too far from their house. Also there were Grandma Strug, Carol and her husband, Marianna's parents, Anna and Mario and Mariannas sister Riata and her significant other, Jerry.
I don't know why I have two of the last photo. But when I get rid of it, the one above then repeats..weird.
