People! I've got carpet! Really! Well, mostly anyway. The bedrooms need to be tacked down still, but other than that, the basement has been carpeted! I went downstairs last night and did little carpet angels. :0) I'm not kidding either. Mackenzee joined me. Giddiness overtook me. I went and got all of the DVDs that have been scattered around my house and started organizing them in preparations for the official move downstairs. {I know...I'm a dork}
See? Old, ugly carpet that was never meant for children because it's WAY too light...and beautiful brown carpet below. This picture actually makes it look a lot darker than it really is. 
See? It's not as dark as you thought. Do you also see the stacks at the end of the room? That's the stacks of stuff that were piled in my dining room. And now they don't have to be in the way anymore! Yahoo!
This is "the closet" and the tv room. Isn't it gorgeous? Ok...so it's just painted walls and carpet. BUT STILL! Do you know how long I've waited for this? MONTHS! And we are at the end of all of it now! Hallelujah!
The DVD shrine the hubby had Brandon install for us. No, it's not crooked. The picture is. Or maybe it's the picture taker? I was kind of loopy from the smell of the carpet glue!
And, because hubby worked so hard....here is the bathroom tile. He did it this last weekend. I know it's just an edge shot here...but the bathroom is full of stuff. We had to shove it all in there while they carpeted. But, didn't he do a good job? Kudos to the hubby!
They are coming back today to finish up downstairs and then put in the carpet in the living room and hallways upstairs. My polka dotted living room carpet will be NO MORE! You name a color...and it's on my floor. Can't wait for it to disappear. :0) And the threat has gone out to my children! Though the carpet was pre-polka dotted when we moved in, the pink polka dots are from my daughter. {Go figure} I fear I will become Nazi mommy. "Take your shoes off!" "No food on the carpet!" Sigh. What can you do?
