Home Repair: Cutting the Rug

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Carpet bombing.


Edge details


For the first time in our lives, we actually chose and ordered new carpeting based on what we wanted, instead of choosing the least objectionable from the remainders rack. Guess what? When you do it that way, it’s way more expensive and you have to wait for a couple of months before it arrives. But arrive it finally did, and thanks to carpet-laying whiz Randy (of Randy’s Carpets, naturally), it’s down. Finally. The above snapshot was taken before we started cluttering the room with furniture. That’s daughter Kate watching TV (“Doctor Who,” naturally) and I didn’t notice at first, but every animal in the house is here checking out the carpet — cats Roo and Lucy, dogs Maizie and Andy. The smaller snapshot shows the edging treatment, with floor tile and decorative tile bordering the room.
