Chaos, Order and Change

Empty bedroom, old worn out carpet

Filling up the living room with bedroom furniture

A bed in the dining room? Why not...

For our Christmas gift to each other this year, we had new carpeting installed in our bedroom and walk in closet. How fun you say but it's been lots of hard work moving everything out of our bedroom and closet to nearby rooms-COMPLETE CHAOS was the result. But then when we returned everything back into our newly carpeted bedroom-ORDER returned. CHANGE happened!
Moving everything out enabled us to clear out cobwebs and vacuum where we could never reach, now there is an added blessing of CLEANLINESS with the order. Above how it looked before I had some brown touches-new lamp shades, a basket in the corner and pillows from the living room to the bed to make the rug match better. Fun to decorate without moving...

Next we will be replacing our wornout carpeting in the computer room. But not till we rest up from this adventure. The carpet people said they would move all the furniture out and back for us for about $45 but dear hubby decided he would save us the money and do it all himself. Now he is tired and I'm tired from helping him. One person can't move a queen sized mattress alone even with a dolly-ME! Next time I think we'll use help to move all our desks from the computer room-not to mention heavy books. Maybe next year...but that's not far away...
