We pulled out the flooring and cabinets this weekend. For the past 15-20 years, Greta was virtually unused by her previous owner(s). As we started pulling the cabinets out, we found some interesting items that piece together the story of her past:
- Several "dream catchers"
- A Mickey Mouse sweat shirt
- A few tie die clothing items
- $12 cash (circa 1977)
- A Kennedy half dollar
- ATom Petty cassette tape
- A baby spoon
- A cloth diaper pin
- A Grow Wild Mushrooms mail order advertisement
Once the cabinets, table, and jump seat were taken out, it was time to get a closer look at the flooring...
My husband was a little worried about the condition of the original floor since it had started to "buckle" in some areas:

| You can kind of see the buckling in the back by the outlet |
He was pleasantly surprised with what he found underneath:
 |
| The wood needs a little sanding, but it's flat and straight! |
 | |||
| Needs a good scrubbing before the new floor goes in! |
 |
| She looks pretty empty with all the cabinets out! |
The flooring and curtains are officially ordered, we picked out (and purchased) the interior paint. The flooring should arrive within a week or so, which gives us time to finish cleaning up.
