Thank you to everyone for your thoughts on Wednesday – I found your comments very comforting to read throughout the day and those, together with the beautiful bunch of flowers I found on our doorstep from my lovely friend Kylie as well as phonecalls and messages from others, helped me to smile and remember all the happy memories I have of my Dad.
This week has been pretty full-on and chaotic at our place with our new carpets being laid. Over the last few days we’ve had to shift furniture around, sleep on our mattress on the floor in the lounge room and contend with our dining table sitting on its side in the middle of our kitchen. As I said, it’s been chaotic but well worth it as now our beautiful new carpets are in and together with our new white skirtings look lovely and fresh.
While all our furniture is back in place, we still have boxes of all the smaller items to put back and our piano is yet to be moved into place, so for now, here are two before shots and two quick after shots...
How fresh and new - it looks gorgeous Amanda..
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely weekend.

Wow, your new carpet looks lovely Amanda! Such a beautiful colour and I like the texture of it. Boy it's been a big week for you. Make sure you take it easy this weekend and have a nice relaxed time. Roll around on your lovely new carpet with gorgeous Grace. That is so sweet that your friend sent you flowers. I'm glad you got through such a tough day. You are a very strong person to be able to cope with it all. Big hugs my friend!

Looks fabulous Amanda. You must be so excited with the wonderful progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, Amanda. I really like yours' too! Oh, and my advice with your lovely new carpet is rugs! Little children and lovely carpet are not a match made in heaven. You'll be glad you did.

ReplyDeleteThe new carpet looks great, such a lovely choice. It has really freshened up the look of your house. Have a great week. xo
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda. Your carpets look great! I was anti-carpet until recently... My husband won and we had it laid in the bedrooms a few weeks ago. And what a difference! I'm loving them! Especially first thing in the morning! Gabriel loves them too - much easier on his little hands and knees! I'm sure Grace would agree!
