the weekend

: manual labor (we finally got the rest of the bamboo floor put down) - see the before pic here.

: alfresco meals (in between Indy & Nascar)

: coffee drinking and magazine reading (and a few small gardening projects)

: and taking time to remember why we observe Memorial Day

the floors look amazing!

and I love the area you created where you can enjoy alfresco meals. I have a covered deck on my upstairs apartment and rarely use it for meals. that will change starting tonight - thanks to your inspiring photos!

I love your new floors! The walls and trim look great too! What a difference. It's clean and airy now. We love our porch and eat out there as much as possible in the warm weather. Sounds like a nice weekend!

Love bamboo floors! DIY is the only way to live- once you are hooked, there is no going back!

Thanks ladies! We are happier with how this room turned out more than our bedroom. My CPA husband did an Excel spread sheet this time on how the boards were to be layed out and cut. I made fun of him, but it saved us a lot of time and the pattern is regular.

Wishing you all successful DIY projects and lots of dinners on the porch!
