Happy Decision

Through this whole house hunting, house buying, renovating process, there are always times when you think, "Did we make the right decision?". One of our big "did we make the right decision" moments was this past weekend when the stain of the floors that were done were not what we wanted. We made the decision to have them re-stained (very thankful they were having to re-sand most of the house anyway because they had messed up) to the color that we wanted. Today, they put the final coat on and they are done.

We still can't move and walk on them with shoes on, but we were able to quickly peak throughout the house tonight and we are so very happy that we made the decision to have them re-stained with a different stain. We LOVE them! Ben said he won't wear shoes in the house for at least a year - HA!

After we peaked at the floors, we head to Sherwin Williams to purchase the paint for a china buffet that we are painting & staining. We saw it in Ben's parent's basement and they said we could have it. We started refinishing it tonight, but I will post a picture as soon as it's done.

We also headed to our daily place, The Home Depot. The "trim guy" is coming tomorrow so we had to get 400 feet of Quarter Round. This is basically shoe molding that goes below the base boards. We popped all of the old ones up prior to them staining the floors because it was yellow and cheap looking. I thought I'd catch Ben in action at Home Depot...

By the way...once again, we looked like the Clampett's going back to our house with 16 feet of Quarter Rounds strapped to the top of Ben's truck.

The Buffington family has great news to report today! My cousin Maggie and her husband Thomas had their second baby girl and named her Caitlin Hope. She looks just like a Buffington :) My mamaw is also doing better from her stroke. She should come home tomorrow, but will have a good bit of rehab to do because of the side effects from the stroke.

Last, we finished our last session of pre-marital counseling today and we PASSED! HA! Not sure if there is a pass/fail grade but our minister is excited to marry us in 11 days!!
