Flooring

So you know how I said we were going to leave the carpets for a while. Yeah well we changed our plan. here's how it went down.


Ring ring

Me: How much to clean my carpet?

Carpet Man: How big and how dirty?

Me: 10 rooms, dirty and a million square feet. Don’t you want to see it to quote me?

Carpet Man: Nope. That’s $2.

Me: Okay Thanks! See you Tuesday.

Knock knock

G: Hello

Carpet Man: Now that I’m here I changed my mind. This is going to cost $100000

G: We only plan on keeping it for a year so just do a $2 clean! We don’t care about making it look brand new.

Carpet Man: YOU INSULT MY CRAFT. $100000 or nothing

G: Then Nothing!

Ring ring

Me: Hello

G: THE CARPET MAN TRIED TO RIP US OFF!!! WASTING MONEY! BLAH ERGH FREAKOUT! WE’RE GETTING THE SAME FLOORS WE PUT IN THE PLAYROOM
Me: Okay

Now the problem is the existing floor in the kitchen. It’s not going to match but I don’t want to replace it right now…I’m thinking I’m going to paint it!

Paisley Wallpaper

 

Colour

After living in beige/taupe/tan/cream apartments for ten years I imagined that when we brought a house I would paint it in a rainbow of colours. Apple greens, deep purples, crisp blues. But the house we bought has an open floor plan downstairs.

Or we could just leave it half painted and with gorgeous wallpaper

2000sqft of apple green? Barf. I'll do colour in the bedrooms/bathrooms. Plus after collecting tons of inspiration pics online I realized that what I really loved for the main living areas was grey. Grey is the new beige.

The three shades I picked are silver screen (for most of the walls)

Pewter Mug (for the kitchen)

Milestone which is more blueish/purpleish grey (for accent walls)

And here they are on the wall. Yeah its dark and there is a sun spot so not a true representation. But it looks fabu right?
