Everyone is growing weary of this winter weather. I feel like I've been living back in New England. I should get some cross country skis or snow shoes. There are lots of neat trails across the road. I'll get some for Danny, too.
I didn't do much of anything today. I put up some Valentine decorations. When I take the Christmas decorations down, I leave the red bow up and put up some more. Today, I put some valentines on the red bows. I put the valentine candy boxes that Ted had given me over the years on display. I have put little red bows on them or other valentine decorations. The bright red keeps the house looking bright for a little longer. After Valentine's Day, I change everything to green for St. Patrick's Day and then Easter and spring.
I talked to my Aunt Jean today. Her condo is still being worked on. She is having all new cabinets in the kitchen and she found there are parquet floors under the carpet so she may have them refinished. She likes having hardwood under her bed; it is much easier to clean. I agree. I had hardwood in my house in Vineland it was much easier to use the dust mop than try to get the vacuum cleaner under there. I have wall to wall here. My new sweeper fits easily under the bed and Danny sleeps under there so I guess he likes the carpet. I have Pergo floor in the kitchen and the back bedrooms have vinyl that looks like oak flooring with area rugs. The living room has wall to wall in ivory. What a mess it is to keep clean. I think if I have to replace it, I'll put the Pergo floor to match the kitchen. Then put area rugs. I do have a blue area rug on top of the wall to wall in front of the sofa.

Posted by tedkarol at January 29, 2011 9:45 PMWhen we bought our house in Upper Deerfield, that big room had off white carpets. What were they thinking! Of course, the prior residents most likely had a housekeeper come in and do the cleaning. They owned Seabrook House and it was probably staff from there who did it.
We changed it out to the multi color berber that is there now. Then we ripped out old, old carpets that was in dining room, living room, front entry, up the steps in into upstairs hallway. There was beautiful hardwood underneath. Again, what were they thinking.
I am sure it will be easier for you if you changed that ivory carpet. New floors make all the difference.
