So beginning of Feb, once our carpet was all ready for us, we picked it up and had it ready and in our garage. They had cut it as one giant roll and seriously it was like 12 feet of carpet! So freaking huge! Then, once we had the carpet, it ended up sitting for quite a few months, because it went from being simply new carpet, to more and more renovations being added in that were easier to do while we had no nice carpet to worry about. They totally are worth it and the house looks great, but a few times i definitely wanted to kill Nick. Haha... The first thing that was added, was we decided to redo all our walls and paint them. We lightly muded them to give them some texture, then painted them a desert sandish brown with a few accent walls upstairs and down of a darker brown that has a hint of green in it. Painted the ceilings a brighter white as well. We then re-tiled the front entry way to match the kitchen and redid the fireplace with a faux marble, which is a dark grey with veins of white and a reddish color in it.
We also then redid the upstairs baseboard to match the main floor, which we had redone before we rented out the house for a year. Haha it just kept spreading with tings that needed or could be changed before we got to the carpet. Of course, the people who did some of the work were not always 100% on time or able to come when they said, so that delayed things as well. Finally though, after what felt like forever of living in dust and on plywood, we finally got our carpet done the first week of June! Woo-hoo! House done and finally my house again! The house definitely looks so much better then before, but i am so glad to be done. lol ;)
