Our first house had black woodwork on the stairway and landing, and the wallpaper in this area was atrocious.......gigantic cat's faces. I kid you not. To make it worse, the carpeting was bright orange shag.

It was like that when we moved in and we could never afford to change it.

This place has all the original woodwork, and I FINALLY convinced hubby that we must take out the living room carpeting and uncover/refinish the hardwood floors. We've done it everywhere else in the house......he has been holding out on the LR for 10 years. But now he says we'll do it this spring. Yay!!!

Well, at least you didn't have to do any decorating for Halloween ... :-)
