Home Improvements - March 2004


I've lived in my house for ten years now and I've really never done much to it. So I finally decided to have my living/dining room painted burgundy. Well, the next thing you know I also decided to hire some pros to install true hardwood floors in the entry way and in the living/dining room, paint my office light taupe and knock out the sliding glass door in my office and install French Doors in its place. Along the way I also realized I needed to hire an interior decorator to help me pick out a few end tables, prints, etc. It all turned out really well, but I'll be more careful the next time I casually decide to have a room painted :)

I also had my all-time favorite couch recovered. This couch used to be in our living room when I was a kid and I always liked how it had one solid cushion to lay on. If I remember correctly, my buddy Jeff Cotten liked crashing on that couch when he lived with us for a summer. Ten years ago my folks were kind enough to give me the couch to put in my den when I bought my house. But eventually it finally deteriorated to the point of being placed in my garage. But now it's back in my den and it's as good as new - and as comfortable :)
