Originally we budgeted two days to install our dark wood colored floors in three rooms and through the hallway. This two day project has taken us nearly two months to complete. Our first order of flooring ended up being three boxes shy. Two weeks later our three boxes arrived but two boxes were damaged and unusable, two additional weeks later our third shipment of flooring arrived undamaged and today Levi finished the installation! It was a challenging task and while Jen put together the media center in the living room there were an abundance of colorful curse words and slamming sounds coming from the hallway, but alas the last patch of exposed concrete in our house was covered!
We made yet another trip to IKEA and purchased an outdoor bench, table, chairs, a media center for our living room and stools for our kitchen island. It's always a disappointment to spend hours putting together furniture to find that it doesn't work in the space at all. The stools need to be returned for something less bulky and the media center photographed above will be shortened a bit in length. Then we'll replace our tv with a mounted LCD that Levi has been coveting for some time. It's such a great feeling to have most of the laborous work behind us and to be able to focus on the details.
