It had some funky little stains, discoloration, and a general old-carpet feel, and after we did the tile it no longer met evenly with the kitchen and entryway floor.
And the gold clashed with our wall color.
It just wasn't working for us anymore.
Kent and I spent Monday night clearning out the furniture and wall decorations
and tearing up carpet and pad.
It all seemed oddly familiar-the whole "furniture-crammed-in-the-wrong-places" idea.
Didn't we just do this,
like a week ago?
Look! It's a baby on a giant quesadilla!
A very, very cute baby, too.How delicious!
At the end of the night, when everything was cleared out,
we made sure to leave our mark on the house.
If anyone ever decides to replace this new carpet,they'll know that we lived here and loved here.
Awe.
(Oh, and don't worry, Nicholas's middle fingers aren't uncharacteristically long-it's just really hard to get a 7-month old to make a handprint.)
And then, only three installers and four hours later, behold!
The fresh, unbelievably soft,
glorious new carpet.
We love it! And it's just one more reason you should come visit us. We'll let you sprawl out on our soft, fresh carpet for as long as you want.
