Working on the Floors

We had the ambitious thought that we could tear up the rugs today in the back bedroom and start sanding. The tearing up part wasn't hard at all. Even fining a sander to rent wasn't so bad either. It is deciding how far to sand the floors down that has us slightly befuddled. There are surface stains that would probably come out with fine grit sand paper. But there are quite a few water stains and one random size 7 footprint that need to go away.

While we were tearing up the rug, we thought we might as well take it out in the closet too. This was an easy decision because as we were pulling and folding the rug, clouds of plaster dust and construction debris from at least two different projects were poofing up into the air! This meant, though, that we also had to pull off the floor molding and will have to move it down to accommodate for the lack of rug! Then I got the idea that the "old" paint doesn't match the new and there were marks in the wall from construction stuff...so now, we have to attack designing/figuring out the entryway into the back bedroom and paint/repaint the closet.

Here are the colors of the back bedroom. (These are pretty true to what is there--a moss green and "soft candlelight".)

I was having fun pulling up the padding. It just kind of pops off the staples...you know me, the simple things in life keep me amused.
