Well...I did it. I spent $300 on a new area rug for my Daughters room and threw out $300 worth of junk she had collected. The old carpet was 10 years old as we had it put in before she was born. It was a shade of pink. :eek:
Her new theme is violets and purples and lime green etc.
Her Mother and Mother's Best Friend had painted and done little small touches a year ago but the pink carpet was still in there.
Since there was nice hardwoods under the old rug, I pulled everything up (Tack Strips and pad included) and then cleaned the floor. I sprayed around the edges of the room with insect killer earlier today before we went shopping for the carpet.
It's down now and the room is mostly back in order.
Now the rest of the house needs TLC as I pulled all her stuff into the living room. That will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm beat.
Here's a few pics.
