why were there no posts for a while?? this is why!!

We finally got new carpet.. Grandma and Grandpa Johnson gave us an amazing monetary gift for x-mas and with that money we decide to beautify our floors.Hardwood floors would have been amazing, but our house is pretty cold during the winter months and we were worried with a 4 year old and two dogs, that those would get ruined. So we decided on a pretty dark, gray/tan and ivory very plush carpet. To save some money we told the carpenters we would tear out our own carpet. Easily said than done. You do not realize actually how much stuff you have and where to put it!! We started on our bedroom and that was easier done than we thought. But the living room and Lilja's room were a lot harder.. The hardest part?? all those stupid little staples !!! Lilja was a trooper (my babysitter had sick kids so canceled)her little space got smaller and smaller..but about 8 pm the night before we were done. Luckily we had to house sit, so we had a place to stay..

our bedroom, day one.. You really do not know what is under your carpet until you take it out... !!

Lilja's room

Lilving room , that is the pad that was crumbling around all those stupid little nails!! Jack was freaking out so he was in a time out

Tada!!! beautiful carpet.. so soft and plush!!

Lilja loves to roll around the carpet!!

Bedroom and new comforter.. need some color in there with all this brown now.

and the finished product.. the dark walls will be getting painted  light now that the carpet in dark and a new couch is coming soon. This is a domino effect though, because now lots of things are screaming for new life!! Bear with me, honey!! .
