Okay, here's a before shot from halfway up the stairs showing the icky beige carpet. Check out the new 3 1/2" baseboards in the next shots.
This is from the top of the stairs showing part of the living room. Hopefully, you can see the colour of the wood.
I haven't finished putting in the final touches yet - things like what goes on the coffee table and mantle. I'll do it after the cruise.
I'm thinking of putting in a small area rug between the sofa and loveseat.
And, finally, the dining room. I just put one leaf in the table so there's still lots more room for anyone popping in for a meal. I might put an area rug in here, too.

Oh, Leslie, your room looks so cozy and inviting. I love your little sofa. My goodness.
So.... you're off on your adventure soon. I want to see LOTS of pictures. And please say hello to Richard for me.

Hi Leslie...
Your floors are absolutely beautiful...I love the dark wood, it looks so cozy and warm. This was the perfect look for your house when we see the before and after. Good choice!!!
You are going to have the time of your life on the Alaska cruise in your little size 10 clothes! Knock em off their feet girlfriend...I'm so very proud of you because this is a BIG accomplishment!
You must be getting excited as the day is getting nearer...I can't wait to see your pictures and hear all about it...we're all depending on you to fill us in with all the details...Okay?
hugs from Willy
here's my word...vxfsxr
vixen female sexier than ever in her size 10!
Leslie,
Your crib is lovely! The before and after shots show that this is a definite improvement.
Now all we need is before and after photos of the new you in your cruise outfits! Please, oh please? LOL
Have a splendiferous time on the cruise!
Saludos,
Enid
My goodness, I'm blushing! Thanks for your congrats, Willy, and Enid - I will NEVER show a "before" shot of me! Only the new and improved me! LOL I will be posting photos of the cruise, but not until after - it is just far too expensive to use the computers on the ship. (Well, I'll check & maybe try to post some if I can.) Today, I need to pick up my newly hemmed jeans and a skirt that had to be taken in. Then home to begin the packing process. You know - laundry, ironing, choosing what to take, etc. I'm now getting really excited - 3 more sleeps until I leave for Seattle. Caio for now. :D
Looks fabulous and inviting, Leslie. It's a task I want to undertake too, so that the crappy old carpeting vcan be gotten rid of. You inspire me to do something under this roof.
Cheers,
Ian
Hi, Leslie. When I buy the little red Mustang, you and I can do a Thelma and Louise (without the Grand Canyon).
Josie
Sounds great, Josie! Which one am I? Wonder if we'll meet up with a hot young stud like Brad Pitt! :D
I love hardwood floors.
And I love little throw 'rugs' to put down, it looks specatacular.
And yes...you SHOULD post that picture of you in the 'outfit' you mentioned on Josie's blog.
Absolutely!
AND, maybe you should get a little red convertible mustang so you can drive Josie around?
:)
Have fun on your cruise!!!
I'll miss you and look forward to your return...
BIG HUGS OOO
my word is like another one of those high school typing tests...

Thx Willy! Just waiting for my driver to arrive in about half an hour and we're off to Seattle. See you all soon. :D
EGAD! I failed the typing test. Let's try this again! :(
Hi Leslie,
I SO enjoyed meeting you the other night in Seattle. You are as warm and outgoing as I thought you would be, based on "getting to know you" via the blogs.
I felt like I was chatting with an old friend, not someone I had met only moments earlier.
I would love for us to have an opportunity to visit again!

Hi Leslie!! You are so energenic!! The new floors are so beautiful. I love hard wood floors. That is one thing I miss about owning my own home. So warm and toastily inviting!!! :)
Hope you are having a great time on your cruise. Will look forward to new pics when you get back!!

beautiful home leslie. i love the hardwood floors also. i would put a little rug between the table and sofa. sometimes you don't know what you want until you're in the store and see it. then it's like, that'll look good there, etc.
i am so proud of you--retiring from your job, losing weight, purchasing a new wardrobe, going on a cruise, got a new man (?), preparing for writing a book, traveling with suzanne. YOU GO GIRL!
i'm really proud of all of us ladies and dale. we're on the ball.
