All the Frills: New Floors, Yay!

These photos look pretty crappy but I’m so excited about the install of our new floors that I really wanted to share them! As you can see, all our baseboards are still off (we’re waiting on the painters before we reattach them) and our walls haven’t yet been painted the pale blue colour we selected, but I am so happy about how the floors came out. And, when the painting gets done, I think the whole thing is going to come together amazingly.

Weekend Reading:

• This article about the former leprosy colony in Hawaii is fascinating.
  
  
• This is a great piece about modern representations of Elizabeth I.
  
  
• The headline is true, this is the best police blotter around.
  
  
• Let’s all burn our flip-flops!
  
  
• This is such a great list of literary characters that empower young women. I’m tearing up thinking about Bridge to Terabithia.
  
  
• Some brilliant individual has ranked all 703 outfits that Rachel wore on Friends. And it is about as amazing as it sounds. Personally I always loved Monica’s clothes a bit more than Rachel’s…maybe someone will rank those next.
