Working on Aidan's Room...

Today was such a fun day! We (well, me--Dan was out on calls and at the farm) worked with John and Ellena on putting in Aidan's flooring in the nursery. It is a bamboo inspired laminate, and we decided to put it right over the old carpeting. Well, decided is kind of a loose term... more like forced to as the carpet was glued to the floor 20 years ago, and there was no way of getting it up without creating an even bigger mess! But, it has made the floor feel almost bouncy, and the jokes were: Imagine how much higher Aidan will be able to jump as he goes for the dunk! (Ok- more basketball- a wee bit obsessive!). John used to do renovations for a living, and did such a nice job. The floor has a distinct pattern to it that is very neat, and he was so careful with materials we had over a box left over.

Of course, John was very shy for the camera, but I can forgive him for that considering all of the help he has given us. Tomorrow, we will continue on with the wainscotting and then the room will be ready for Carol's artistic design.
