Carpet angels

We got our carpet. The moment I’d been dreading. And it turned out to be not so dreadful. So I did what any sane person does – carpet angels.

That's an outlet by my hand, if you wondered. It's now covered by
a couch, but may one day allow a lamp to be plugged in.

Moorea wasn’t so sure about the carpet – nor was she sure about the couches getting moved back in. No carpet angels for her. And frankly, she’s probably plotting where to pee (or vomit) first.

We're going to get a new front door (stained to match the cabinets).
We're also looking forward to not parking on our lawn anymore.

In other exciting news, we finally found a kitchen table and chairs. It’s a miracle! But, as with most miracle (I’m not sure about the miracle thing), there’s a catch: the chairs will be ready Thursday. The table – not until September 20^th. But at this point, we don’t really care. We can sit at the chairs and pretend.

So what’s left?

·         The bedrooms will get new carpet on Wednesday

·         Move furniture around, clean, clean and some more cleaning

·         The remaining five (or so) sheets of backsplash will come in about two weeks

·         That’s it!!!

We are going to make our first dinner in our new kitchen tonight. Sometimes it felt like this day would never get here. And Jason requested that we have spicy chicken pasta, which, for the loyal followers, you’ll note was the last meal we made in the old kitchen, some 60 days ago.

Our final tally on our poor eating habits:

Dinners eaten at home since remodel began: 11

Dinners eaten out since remodel began: 45
