Earlier this month I decided that I had enough with the carpet in our house. I truly hate it.

The picture doesn’t really show how ugly it is because I was always trying to lighten it up with Photoshop. It’s definitely not the carpet & flooring that I would have chose. We really want to take the carpet out of the family & living room and replace it all with hardwood floor and only have carpet in the bedrooms. I did some research and it turned out the hardwood flooring that we want is way more than we can afford right now. So we agreed to replace the carpet now and worry about the flooring later and when I say that…I mean in like in 10 years.

I didn’t want to figure out which carpet to get especially with how small the samples are. I really love the carpet that Katie has which is Martha Stewart’s Winterthur in Ash Bark. I fell in love with it and so did Tyler! Whoop, easiest decision made and off to Home Depot we went.

It took a while to get it ordered since we had to have them come out and measure. When we went back to Home Depot, we realized the total was $600 more than we expected. We talked to the same guy that we were working with. He was able to discount $300 from the total for us. It was nice though since installation was free. Our total came at around $3,700 which left us with a lot of extra carpet that we have stored in our garage.

Cheerio pretty much photobombed all of the pictures that I took of the carpet.

I am in love with our new carpet and it just feels like we’re in a new house now! And yes…. no shoes on my new carpet! My dad already broke this rule day #1.
