New Carpet!

A few months ago, Wells Fargo decided to charge me for having a little savings account. Well, instead of moving the money I had in there to our regular checking account, I asked Tim if we could get new carpet instead. I was having bad allergies and I didn't think the carpet was helping matters. I scraped up $1,800 to spend, including birthday, piano, and amazon visa rewards $$. It is tough when you are on a tight budget and have $50,000 in schools loans.

Well, the carpet total came out to $1,827! I was so happy!

Wow, ripping up the carpet was a lot of work! I wanted to save a couple hundred dollars though since I only had $1,800 to spend. It really hurt my wrists--especially pulling up all those staples that held the padding!  

Here is what the house looked like when we toured it. I was not that excited about it. ;)

 

Ripping up the carpet!
It was so dirty, it made my nose hurt so bad and I didn't feel good after I ripped it out each day I did. It took me many days to rip it out! Little by little.

 

Notice the orange up the stairs in the background? Yeah, it's hideous.

   

Yes, it's ugly. I know. 

  

We found this little treasure when we were moving furniture! I was so happy! I just got this for Tim for Christmas, and the last one before this was stolen! He thought he lost it outside. Praise God we found it, I was praying we would! 

 

Tada!! It's so nice!!! Tim says it's like walking on clouds. We love it!

  I LOVE how my piano room looks!

 Timmy likes it. :) I am so thankful!
