There are so many things that I want to do this house. Now only if I had an endless supply of money to do it! I am very very pleased to say that I have successfully talked Mike in to letting me get new floors in the lower level. I orginally wanted wood but when I found out how much it would cost I decided to settle for carpet. Except for the bathroom and another room of course. I'm getting new floors there to but not carpet. We'll probably get new carpet in the upper level next year. It was way too much to have it all done at once and looking at these black floors down here is about to drive me mad.....what in the world were they thinking?! I'm also pleased to say that my kitchen floor has been redone. YAY! It was SO gross! It had very obviously been here since the house was built. I think it may have been white at one time. Same for the bathroom upstairs. The old one's out and I have a new one now. I think at one time it may have been white too. I can't wait till they lay the new carpet and these depressing black floors are gone. It's supposed to be in Monday but I may wait and have them install it the following week. We're leaving either late Thursday or early Friday for my parents house and I don't want to be scrambling all week to get things done. I'll be super busy when they do the carpet, I'm sure. I also want to take this hideous wallpaper off the walls in the bathroom down here. The guy that owned this house made some very interesting choices to say the least. I peeled back some of the wallpaper to see what was under it. After the third layer I gave up. I'm wondering if those walls are made of the wallpaper! LOL! There are several rooms I want to paint too. I've been looking at a lot of wallpaper and borders when I've been out and about too and have found a lot of things that I like. One of these days I'll be going furniture shopping. We definately have a lack of furniture going on down here.
What's everyone getting their significant other for Valentine's Day? I like shopping for most holidays but Valentine's Day is not an easy holiday to shop for a man, IMO. Any ideas??
Speaking of Valentine's Day, I'm in a Valentine's Day heart exchange in a yahoo group I'm in. My partner received her package a couple of days ago so I can't post a pic of what I stitched for her. I found a beautiful piece of hand dyed fabric at the stitching shop. It's from Picture This Plus and the color is Phoenix. I stitched a heart for her in white on this fabric and I think it looks great! I made it in to a flat fold (imagine that!). I really like it and I think that she does as well :).

Great Valentine. Looks perfect.
Yes, it is hard to buy for men for Valentine's day. My SO loves beer, so the last few years I have bought him some kind of specialty micro-brewed beer. This year I think it is going to be Boulevard-Irish Ale.
