Elliott's Room Phase 2

July 4th is usually spent grillin' out and having company over. Well, we had A lot of rain on July 4th. What else is there to do on July 4th when it is raining??? ELLIOTT'S ROOM!!!

We tore out the carpet to bare the beautiful hard wood floors underneath. It always is a little scary tearing up carpet to unveil what has lurked underneath for years. Fortunately, the previous owners didn't "hide" anything with carpet. Our floors have been in almost perfect condition every time we have removed carpet. The guy who installed this carpet was a BIG fan of Staples and really wanted to make sure that padding stayed in place!
Before the removal...Yes, the way I am sitting it looks like I have a tire around my waiste...not sure why it looks like that. Funky.

During the removal (notice the nosey cat...always wanting to know what is going on)

After the removal...
