"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

New Carpet!

We have slowly been making updates to our house since we moved in.  One thing that has kind of been on the back burner of "projects" was getting new carpet in our upstairs two bedrooms and on the stairs leading upstairs.  Well, this spring a few things finally fell into place that allowed this to happen for us!  The carpet that was up there (as you will see from the pictures) was an ugly rose color and it had been there for who knows how long....it was gross!  Also, in our bedroom there was a place where someone had cut out a 4x4 inch square and then just left it there.....yeah definitely time for an update!  Anyways, here are some before and after pictures.  I LOVE our new carpet and am so thankful for how it all worked out.  It was a lot of work because we of course had to take everything out of both of those two rooms, and with our house not being very large, well we just didn't have a lot of room to put things!  Plus, I wanted to majorly clean and re-organize everything, so it wasn't like everything just headed right back to where it was. :)  However, even though it was a lot of work, it feels so good to have everything cleaned, organized, and gone through!  Here are some pictures of the before and after :)

Our steps before....not too bad of a color, but just gross :)

Our steps after!  We had no idea that there was this beautiful hardwood underneath!!  We decided not to re-carpet the stairs but are instead going to do a runner down the middle. 

They are in such good shape!

Our bedroom before....

Another view of our bedroom before... (and no there was not beautiful hardwood floors in our bedrooms under the carpet) :)

Kids' bedroom before...

New pad...

More new pad...

Kids' bedroom after!

Our bedroom after!  I cannot believe how different it looks up there!  The carpet is a light brown color, and it makes everything seem so fresh and nice, I love it!

Kids' bedroom all put back and organized!  (Plus Erik even got their new ceiling fan installed!)

Another view of the kids' room all put back together!

And just for fun this is how crazy our house looked for a week or so :)

So glad it doesn't look like this now!! :)
