OK, so Ryan and I decided (well I decided and Ryan finally agreed) to rip up the carpet in the living room. We knew that there were hardwood floors underneath because we ripped the carpet up in our bedroom like a year ago and they were original hardwood. The kicker was we weren't sure what condition they were in. Our bedroom floors were OK but would need refinished due to stupid people who do not know how to paint and dog pee stains. Since we were already going to refinish that someday, I wanted hardwood floors in the living room as well. I saw a friends house that had hardwood floors in the living room and it was gorgeous.

Anyway, Ryan was nervous they would be really bad but.......

SURPRISE, they were actually in pretty good shape. They do need refinished due to scratches and of course paint around the perimeter. I also don't like the color much, its too orange. We have decided to stain them a darker color. I am so excited!!!! Here is another picture. Even Kamie likes them!

So we plan on having someone come out the week of October 27th to redo them and fairl reasonably, too. Some people wanted $2000 for the bedroom, hallway, and living room, which are actually not very big in our tiny ranch. We could have gotten new floors for 1/2 that price so we said screw them and hired a cheaper guy. We actually saw one of his previous customers floor and he did an awsome job. I'll post more when they are finished!!!
