The master bedroom is done! (mostly)

130_3073 lookit those shiny clean floors!

Friday afternoon, after a lovely showing of Talledega Nights with a few friends (Will Ferell is awesome and John C. Reilly is freaking hilarious), I came home to the house and rolled up the carpet and nasty nasty nasty purple carpet pad that had disintegrated into dirty shreds, except for the parts that stuck to the floor. Ewwww.

After about an hour shopvac-ing that crap up, I was able to paint the baseboards and do one coat on the door frames. Then Jonathan got home and he hauled off the gross carpet and pad. Yay! That crud is gone!

On Saturday, post-ikea trip, mom and I scrubbed the shit out of the floor, and now it's all shiny and nice and shiny and it's done and YAY!!!

One room done!
