It's so small, they recently had the whole country carpeted.

The title to this post comes from the movie Arthur.



In past houses, we've had cheaper carpet and the wear paths come too quickly.  Once those paths appear they serve as a constant reminder of the future need to pay a lot of money on flooring and frankly, wouldn't we all want to spend our money on something other than carpeting?  So this time we decided to put all our extra budgeted money into carpeting. 

At Legacy Books we quickly fell in love with their sisal carpeting.  We went for a similar look.  I came across a post at The Newlywed Diaries which had a carpet very similar if not identical to what we chose. 

So here's hoping this carpet will last like we were told it would.  No wear marks for at least 7 years.  Wouldn't that be great?!

Sheet rocking started today.  The entire upstairs is hung and 75 percent of downstairs is complete.  Tape and texture should be complete by next week.  Onward and upward!
