Home Makeover Series: New Carpet

Chris and I have lived in our house for five years. You would think that would be long enough to have it just how we like it, but it is far from being done, BUT we now have a completion plan, that I am very excited about, which includes the three year project of crown moulding in our living room!


We started these projects at the end of April beginning with new carpet in our bedrooms. I took before pictures, but I took them free of furniture and carpet and I am thinking that maybe I should have taken some with the carpet so you could see the difference. Anyway, we like the carpet very much and although it isn't the carpet we would choose for long term livage (like super expensive wool carpet) it will do for now. We are planning to be in our house for probably three more years.


It was quite a big deal to get new carpet because you basically have to move out. We were dreading that, but it turned out moving out wasn't too bad...moving back IN was! We combined our room that was our office with our closet which meant we had to combine TWO closets and one bedroom into one closet...hope that made sense. That was hard, but it forced us to get rid of lots of crap and I actually really love the computer being in our closet. We have a large closet so it isn't too crampy just cozy.


We are going to make the new bedroom Kenzee's big girl room. It will be her 2 year old present from us and we have been planning it for a long time. We will just save the nursery for a new baby someday. I absolutely LOVE Mckenzee's nursery and could never change it so we are moving her next door.



So, I am getting ahead of myself. This post is about new carpet and combining office and closet so I will post pictures of that.
