115/365 Renovating David's house

My brother bought his first house. The couple he purchased it from lived there for more than 30 years. They loved the house, but were unable to fix it up towards the end. He's been working really hard to fix it up.

One of the the oddities about it was that every room was carpeted. EVERY room. Including the bathrooms and kitchen!

Here's David pulling up the carpet in the kitchen.



Imagine our surprise when we found that underneath that carpet was another carpet!!!!!!! So he yanked that one up too.



Underneath that are two layers of linoleum - one on top of the other. Those will wait for another day.

Fortunately  underneath the carpet in two of the bedrooms is terrazzo. We pulled up a little big and it is simply gorgeous!





He's also fortunate to have wood cabinets in the kitchen. The hardware may need updating, but the wood has potential. Here are some paint samples.



Our other goal for the day was checking out some paint samples.

Here's my mom putting some on.





David picked out five that he liked. We painted them in the living room and one of the bedrooms that will become the office.
