NEW CARPETING

We got new carpeting in the two bedrooms downstairs yesterday. It is a little darker than what the sample looked like but since I keep the doors closed most of the time it really doesn't matter. The carpet and padding feel so nice under my feet. Of course all these changes make more work for Laif. He had to shorten my closet doors. Also, we bought the baseboard to go around both rooms and that was a lot of work for Laif. That entailed cutting and nailing. My room is completely finished now. There is not much left to do in the second bedroom. I had moved all the small things out of both bedrooms before the carpet layers came but Laif had to move the beds, chests, etc.

I will be posting on my blog Wednesday so you can see my new bedroom furniture. I could not bring myself to put used furniture on my new carpet. I bought a new dresser with mirror, a chest of drawers and two night stands from the 5th Avenue furniture store here in Sequim. The pieces are real wood. They will be delivered Wednesday morning. I am keeping my same bed. The headboard and footboard that goes with the furniture is just too much for the size of the bedroom. That is the reason I did not bring the big bed I had bought when we moved to Merrill Gardens.

Do you think I am a shopaholic? Are there shopaholic meetings that I should attend?
