It?s Week Two of the One Room Challenge and I?m here to report on the status of the floors upstairs. They?re done! Boom!
I?m so excited about these new engineered hardwood floors I can?t even tell ya. I?m just grinning ear to ear. Reason is, they replaced the dingy old carpet that has occupied the bedroom and hallway. It?s been years I?ve been cringing at the sight of that old carpet and at last at last at laaaaaast  I have hardwood in its place.
I?ve been saving this image for so long as my inspiration for the color of the floors in my house, I love that rich stain, dark but not too dark. Funny how the layout of this entry looks so much like mine, minus the runner of course.

When I accepted the One Room Challenge it kicked my booty in gear to have new complementary floors installed upstairs in the hallway and the master bedroom. So let?s start at the beginning.

Notice the gray dingy trail of dirt as you enter. Welcome!
 
I clearly recall in my mind and without a doubt there was an escalating evil cackle on repeat in my mind as the carpet came out of this space and off the stairs.
 
Even just the plywood made me ...
