Heavenly Flooring

Out with the old, in with the new - we got new carpets on the main level of our house last Friday!! WOOHOO! Soo nice! It was quite the process of moving all of our stuff into our kitchen and carport, but it was worth it! Here are some pictures of the process and the before and after.

DISASTER AREA!! aka our kitchen
I watched the show "Clean House" the other day while I was at the gym and people actually live with their house in this much disarray!! Crazy!
Camping out in the living room.. you may notice the ice cream cake next to Mike.. we treated ourselves after a night's worth of hard work!! :)

Aaah! So comfy!!
See that beautiful texture and color! I am a big fan of the blend of auburn, gold, brown, tan and green threads which you can't really see in this picture, but it is really nice!
What do I love, love, love about our new carpet??? Visible vacuum lines!!
I don't mind the white fireplace as much with our new carpets either!
Hallway
I love this picture because Brinley is smiling and waving at the camera.. which is the first time she has done that!
All in all super pleased with our decision to get new carpets. Only one downfall has occurred from the change - some of our doors are a wee bit too long for the thicker carpet. However, we will just use a table saw to trim the doors on the bottom so they can open and close easier.

Waaahooo!! That looks amazing! What a change! It really updates the whole house. I totally love the white fireplace now that you have the new carpet. What a great bonus! I'm so happy for you and lovin' the vaccumm lines- so pretty. :)
