Oh...my...gawd

These *are* end times.

My parents are redecorating (not remodeling as I said in someones blog-sorry!) their house.Actually, its almost done.Wow. Im still in shock.

They have replaced that dark gold ugly 70's era carpet which was getting quite worn in spots. They have replaced the matching heavy gold drapes with vertical blinds. The shears and heavy flowered drapes on the floor to ceiling windows in the corner are being replaced also with vertical blinds. The walls which were a bright buttercup yellow are now a calming blue.

And thats just the livingroom!

The sliding glass doors in the diningroom are now French doors with vertical blinds between the glass panes. The front door has been replaced with a steel door with a window (before it was a metal screen door and a white wooden door with no window)
Theres a new light fixture in the bathroom down the hall. Wonder if they replaced the carpet in the hall and Dads room?lol. Its been there for 35 years at least. Hmm..maybe I will call Mom back.

My parents have made few changes to the house in the 33 years they have lived there.The buttercup yellow paint in the livingroom was one...a few years ago mom put up a border and painted the hall bathroom...recently they got one of those walk in bathtubs installed in there...um..Dad put up truck themed wallpaper in his bathroom...that was at least 25 years ago...lol.

I am so glad they have done this. Changes...good changes. I am pleasantly surprised. Maybe there's hope for the old folks yet. :)
