Yay! It's Friday! I've got to pack up the stuff in the living room and dining room so we can move the furniture - the flooring project begins Monday. We're replacing the hideous old carpet with beautiful new Brazilian Walnut. Although the rosewood is beautiful, after bringing a sample home it became apparent that it was too pink to look good with our existiing furniture. Buying new furniture is out of the question - we had just bought a new dining room set when we moved into the house. When the floor is done, I'll take a digital photo of it before we move the furnture back in.
Dark colored carpet is horrible to keep clean; much worse than lighter carpet actually. I spent many long hours one time looking for just the right carpet to go with my decor and ended up settling on a beautiful dark drown with flecks of rust. I swore, Never again. Especially with pets. It accentuates cat hair.
Tearing up old carpet has a perverse pleaure to it, yes?
