We have been busy trying to cover up the dark olive green that the former owners favored. The first thing that we did was hire our painters back and have them cover up the olive green that was everywhere. And I do mean EVERYWHERE; closets, ceilings ... even the doors and trim were a lighter shade of the dark olive. Larry said that it depressed him. I felt like I was in the middle of an Army camp. So ... 80 gallons of paint later (somewhat like the scene from ET)
We managed to get it white. :-) And we removed all the laminate flooring and the fireplace which did nothing but get in the way!! So now Jason is busy trying to keep up with our ideas. We are doing the kitchen/dining in hand scraped natural maple (which is still on order) and the library in hand scraped elm (you guessed it ~ not in yet) and tile for the rest of the house. The master bedroom tile has a simple patern that of course I had to make more difficult by setting it "on point". 
Larry picked out this pattern for the main floor which will include the living room and guest bedroom. Jason is ready to pull his hair out over this one!!
Before any tile or hardwood could go down, cement underlayment had to fitted and nailed down to firm the floor.
And before I forget, we did put color on the walls. :-) Here is the kitchen.
That's all for tonight. I will post more over the weekend. So nice to be back on my blog again!!
