Lino floors...yum!
We've both always loved exposed brick walls, oh yay we got one!
Gee I wonder if that brick fence will stay...?
Good for you! And a blog is a great way to document the pain/joy you will be going through!
If you are able to, and haven't seen these movies before, you might want to rent the classic: Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948) or The Money Pit (1986). You can do a search on http://video.google.com/ for Mr. Blandings and see some short clips.
