Last weekend we made a bit of a impulse buy. We were going to get the shopping and noticed a carpet place in the same shopping area. We'd been talking about carpets, dreaming about the day when we could walk in our socks upstairs, should we so choose, our toes cushioned by something nice.
The carpets were 20% off, so what could we do? The chap came to measure on Tuesday and the carpet was laid on Friday. It's not the woolly glory I was picturing, but it's still amazing. And has turned us into truly responsible decorators. Today's task is painting our bedroom (yes, painting after carpeting--it was an impulse buy). New carpet was covered with old carpet, which was covered by plastic, which was covered by boards. Then the edges were very carefully taped. A far cry from last week's painting of the lounge, when paint was allowed to splatter more or less where it pleased. Tomorrow will reveal if these efforts were enough....
