Refinished floors = Petsmart pedicure for Lucy!

We have heard horror stories about the dust that comes along with refinishing hardwood floors. So, we decided to go ahead and have our hardwood floors refinished in the new house before we begin painting. Man - they were not kidding about the dust! It is everywhere - gross! Anyway, Scott and his crew from Done Right Services (yes you read that correctly - Done Right Services) did a beautiful job! Here are some pictures...

They look so much better than they did before. There was some water damage in the kitchen and scratches all over the place. Now, we are bright and shiny!

Now to the hard part - keeping Lucy from having running fits around the house and scratching the floors with her puppy paws. I think it might be time for Lucy-Lu to become a dog snob and get her little nails rounded frequently. That will be entertaining seeing as how she already believes she is a human. You think I am exaggerating? Look below for proof.

Ridiculous. Or maybe we are ridiculous for dressing our dog up for Halloween last October. Regardless, she acts like it is her God given right to be treated equally. If you don't believe us, ask Mama Jane - she has seen a Lucy tantrum before. You know your dog is spoiled to death when your own mother tells you she won't babysit your children one day if they act as rotten as your dog...

Speaking of a spoiled rotten dog...here is a good story. We have fed Lucy Pedigree dog food since she was a puppy. One day we ran out of food and Ryan ran into CVS to grab a bag and all they had was Beneful. Well, Lucy thought Paula Dean herself cooked her dinner. She loved it! So, we finished out the bag and then went back to the usual Pedigree. We put it in her bowl and what did Lucifer do? She spit it out on the floor and looked at us like we were crazy for putting that junk in her bowl. Believe me now??

Back to the house - we finally picked out some cabinet knobs and pulls. Everything is currently in gold and that just isn't really us....so we went on a search for some new hardware. Do you have any idea how many different knobs and cabinet pulls there are out there??? My goodness. Thousands. I think we finally found some that we like - here they are:

Thanks to ebay, 36 of these bad boys will arrive in our mailbox next week. Strike that off your honey-do-list Ryan - we've got a long way to go! More to come soon. Tomorrow we start painting the kitchen my favorite color. Here's a hint - Go Tigers!

For now its a glass of wine, my sweet husband, and our crazy pup.

Love and cheers!
