adding laminate

well weve been really busy around the beach house this summer, we put in a beach area in our back yard, photo to follow, put in 5 tons of river rock in the front yard in the cullferts, and along the side of the garage, now its time to go inside I wanted laminate flooring in the living room since we purchesed the home previous people had dogs and it was only one year old the carpet not the dog, however it needed to be taken out so I did it, all day long as the room is 20x20 big plus I took off the stairs carpet also im going to be painting them that would be another time though, so we have half of the flooring here and the other half in bozeman mt only about an hr half drive to pick up the rest hubbies doing a fantastic job, but he always does, the flooring matches what is in the kitchen and dinning room its already looking nice ill take some pics today to show the progress well hope everyone has a great weekend xoxo sherri

an apology

I'm writing this to apologize to the vintage whites market, i really didn't mean to sound so angry or disappointed i think it was the rain not knowing anyone, and also coming in at 1000 am but the trip was long because of the rain and first time driving there every one was so busy trying to get their shops and goods covered the rain dampened everything including my spirit i would love to go and try this again with a smile and dry clothes please except my apology see you there again xoxo sherri
