almost as fun as cleaning toilets

We spent Valentine's Day and President's weekend furniture shopping. Romantic, we know. And a whole lot of fun with the three kids in tow. But we finally agreed on some things for the family room and now are deciding on the rug.

Yup, I think shopping for rugs/carpets is just about as fun as cleaning toilets.

In both instances I am happy when the task is finished, very satisfied with the end result. But the process, might as well be going in for root canal.

I loved the thought of the entire living level of this house having wood floors (kitchen laminate). But having to 'dress' these floors is hard!

Not much selection between oriental looking and super contemporary. We are middle of the road, without going plain jane.

Turns out trying to coordinate the rug with the pieces we bought, while also staying in budget and LIKING the rug is one hard task.

Still, it is very fun making this house our home.

  1. Tip I learned a few years ago...select rugs first, then large furniture, then smaller things. I know that serves you no purpose now.
