While we had the house turned up-side-down, we figured we would had the photo collage we had been talking about for ages. And the fact that Hobby Lobby had frames 50% didn't hurt either. We walked out only spending $15! Talk about cheap makeovers for a wall! Here is a glimpse of where the frame pictured below used to hang.
We also decided the orange slip cover we have been eying would go sooo well with the hard wood floors.... And now there are pictures above the sofa where a wooden screen of my grandmother's had been. That wood did not go sooo well with the new flooring.
Here's Kaelah showing off the new carpet & how it looks next to the wood. It was our 3rd choice in carpet. We were limited to whatever had been discontinued since allergy friendly carpet is more expensive. Sure, stick it to the people who already don't feel good! We'll see in the spring if any of this helped Kaelah out after all. I'm thinking it will due to the picture found here:
Here is what we found under the carpets upstairs.
This is how we protected ourselves for the 2nd floor carpet removal. Much more enjoyable than when we ripped carpet out of the first floor. And we waited until Kaelah was asleep so she wouldn't be breathing it either. (All 3 of us were sick after the 1st time.)
Another shot at the dirt & yuck. Dan said that whether carpets look dirty or not, we're replacing them every 10 years... or sooner! We decided carpets are simply unsanitary & disgusting.
And here's my favorite picture from ripping up the carpet from our master bedroom: an 11-year-old cigarette butt that the padding was placed over. Along with the nails & screws & plastic bags we found... more proof the people who built our house didn't bother to sweep. Yummy, yes?
