Renovation Update

Hooray! Hooray! 

Our house is finally, finally starting to resemble a residence again.

After nearly 27 days of destruction,

we are beginning to put the pieces back together.

Here is our new kitchen floor:

It is without grout but still, oh my heavens, 

this is SOO much better than the original yellow vinyl floor.

HOWEVER,

{and this is a BIG however}

we removed the carpet

to discover the most devastating tragedy.

Okay, so I am being a little melodramatic but

it is a terrible shame what the previous owner did to her beautiful hardwood floors.

Without rhyme or reason {that we can tell}, 

she had someone put large silver-headed nails ALL OVER THE FLOORS.

The nails are everywhere:

downstairs hallway, dining room, living room,

upstairs hallway, and all bedrooms.

Whew! I think I need a glass of wine just typing that.

We are trying to figure out where to go from here,

so if you have any suggestions please send them my way.

I will keep you posted.

P.S. My anti-anxiety fix is coming in the form of these three lovely reads and a nice hot bath.
