Carpet!Carpet!Carpet!

The carpet runner has arrived!

I arrived home last night to find a large box on the front porch along with another package containing two rolled up carpets.

The two carpets are for the hallway upstairs next to the landing and the hallway downstairs next to the stairs. They match the runner so we have a tied in color scheme going floorally.

We layed out the new carpets and, as you can see, they look great. They are also quite plush.We immediately started planning our schedule to install the runners when Susan remembered our coming plans for Labor Day. We are planning on refinishing the hardwood floors on the main floor. It makes no sense to get our runner down only to coat it in a heavy layer of hardwood sanding dust.

So the installation is off until after Labor Day, which I think is fashionably correct...although I do plan on wearing white. But just my shoes and a belt, perhaps a nice pair of flared polyester slacks.....and a big collared shirts with chains.....Disco Floor Refinisher.
