After months of drywall dust, painting, tile laying, countless trips to Home Depot and a mandatory shoes-on-at-all-times policy, we finally installed carpet!
We already installed tile in the bathrooms and kitchen, and bamboo in the living room. Now that the flooring is 100% finished, I seriously feel like I’m living in a palace! I have never appreciated carpet like I have the last couple of days. I keep running around my house BAREFOOT and it feels SO good! When we remodeled our first home we contracted out a lot of the work and most of it was done when we moved in. We’ve done this house all by ourselves (except the carpet installation) and we’ve lived in it the entire time. We are not planning to do that again any time soon!
With the carpet in, it was finally time to decorate for Christmas. I’m a total sap for all things Christmas. Here’s our tall ‘n’ skinny Christmas Tree sitting atop caramel-colored bamboo flooring.
The tree is decorated with ornaments we’ve collected from all over the world. Do you see the train circling the base? Sam bought it last year and I love it! It actually blows smoke from the engine.
Here’s our just-barely-carpeted bedroom and Christmas plant.
We still have a few finishing touches – for both the remodel and Christmas decorations – but I think it’s looking pretty good!
