Extreme Makeover

J. Lynn's been wanting to replace our 24-year-old carpets for some time. It finally happened! The pix don't really do justice to the change, because you can't feel how soft and nice it is. The pad under the old carpet had pretty much disintegrated.
Here's the before in the living room
And the after
Dining room before
And after
I didn't shoot the stairs before -- maybe you remember them? Here's the new version:
J. Lynn's favorite addition: real carpet in our closet!
Do you remember the pretty pink bedroom? Look at it now!
Our next effort will be to refinish the floor in the kitchen and family room. Hope to get that done while we're away. It almost feels like a new house -- except that we never have the courage to change colors, so I guess it's really the old house renewed.

Wow, you guys have been busy....or the carpet layers have, but whoever has been busy congrats to y'all on new carpet!

Yea! So much better! That old carpet was crazy lumpy. Bummer you don't have a before pic on the stairs. They were pretty bad.

Looks good to me. Will be anxious to see how the wooden floors turn out.

Forgot to ask - what did you do in the guest room and the boys' room? Are they the same honey color?

Yes. Only upstairs remains blue.
