So Lex and I are constantly dreaming about what we can do to fix up our little town house and carpet has been pretty close to the top of the list. We have looked quite a bit and tossed around the idea of going over our budget but just didn't feel right about it. Well we finally found carpet in our budget and we love it! It took quite a bit of work to get it here but it was well worth it. Here are some pictures of what it took to get it in.
This is our living room. Everything from upstairs was moved down and put here. The reason for the poor quality of the picture is because it was taken with the ipod since the camera was lost somewhere in this mess.
This is my amazing sister Sammy. Pretty much without her we wouldn't have been able to do it. (if you look on the floor right in front of Sam you can see how much dirt there was)
These are the worker women. Lex painted this whole room and did an awesome job while Sam and I ripped up the staples and baseboards.
That pizza along with bread-sticks (not presented in this photo) were inhaled in about ten minutes since no one had bothered to think about breakfast We ate it right on top of all the dirt that we hadn't swept up yet.(And yes I guaran-freaking-tee that underneath your carpet is just as bad!)
Chloe was in heaven as she climbed in and out and all around the old carpet; not to mention the pepperoni she got to eat from the pizza.
The stairs proved to be the biggest pain. The padding that you see there not only had to be ripped out but about 200 staples in each step had to be pulled up as well. It took FOREVER!
Thank goodness for AWESOME family!
Chloe-bear thought that pulling all the drawers out of the dresser was great because it gave her a phenomenal place to sleep.
This is just for the before and after shot effect of the same corner. Not bad if i do say so myself.
yay!!!!
