Two rooms DONE!

And the master bedroom is done, done done!

Well, except for the threshold, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet, and it can wait.

A few photos of laying the floor:







After putting the closet doors back up and installing and painting the quarter round:





So, that's satisfying. Next up is working on the kitchen and cleaning the carpets. The goal is to get half of the cupboards done before we move in on Saturday so we have somewhere to store things, and it looks like we'll do it. Here are the cabinets with the doors off and two coats of the new paint on:



Here's what I faced in preparing them - horrible shelf paper, ewwwwwww. It peeled right off, thank goodness, but left a bit of a sticky mess behind.



Most of the cabinets and doors have only had one coat of paint (the ones above were my test cabinets to see how they'd look), so there's lots more painting to do. The doors need some work too, since there are holes that need to be filled on the lower doors so the new handles will fit properly and the holes won't show.

And the paint is oil based, so it's stinky and clean up is a pain. But it looks really good once it's dried, so it's worth the effort!
