I was recruited!

This weekend we got anxious to move the baby furniture into the room, so Art and I did it one night by ourselves. No worries, there was no heavy lifting involved for me (though I do think it was not smart for Art's back). Art would lift a corner of the furniture and my job was to place a carpet slider under it, then I had to guide the furniture while he pushed/pulled and whatnot. I was exhausted, so I am sure Art was super exhausted, but it is done now. Well the baby's room anyway; the rest of the upstairs is another post. I still have not put up pictures of the new kitchen, but I plan on taking some this weekend. So, I will leave you with some before pictures. I totally forgot to take the before pictures until after the work was started, but I think you will get the idea of how awful it was!

This is the old lighting fixture

Here is pea-green countertops (the backsplash was the same pea-green formica) and the lovely gold floor. All circa 1970s. The picture does not fully show the ugliness!
