““Make your home as comfortable and attractive as possible and then get on with living. There's more to life than decorating.”
—Albert Hadley
Over the past week we moved almost everything in our home to two rooms to have new carpet laid. We looked like hoarders. The dog’s ears were sad, as he wasn’t sure where he could lay until we stopped for the day to read or watch some TV.
Picking out carpet was very stressful and with any luck, I won’t have to do it again. There are way too many choices! I know Curtis, the lovely man helping us, got worried every time we walked through the door. All in all, it took about six weeks to tell him to go ahead and place the order.
We also bought a new couch, twice. The first one was gray. . . but before they delivered it, I changed my mind and had them order a brown one instead. It was delivered today.
Some people find this kind of thing fun. I don’t. What I do find fun is going to the yearly Master Gardener’s plant sale with no plan, filling my little, red wagon with odds and ends, without really knowing where they might end up in the garden. But somehow it always works.
The carpet and the couch did too.
