Carpet Downstairs

Today we had the pad replaced on the carpet in the bedroom downstairs.  We had water in the room and when it finally dried out there was an odor left behind.  Better safe than sorry we pulled up the carpet, took out the pad, and had a new pad put back in.  Now we will probably shampoo the carpet just to be sure any odor is gone and get things back to normal!  And hope we never get water in that room again!

Kate's Closet (9/19/11)

With small bedrooms and soon to be sharing kids we have been thinking of ways to optimize our space.  Kate's closet is very deep because it is over the steps going downstairs.  We decided to add in drawers and shelves into her closet and take out her dresser to free up space in the room and utilize her closet to the fullest potential.

Back Steps (8/31/11)

Mike covered the back steps with decking and made them bigger.  This is the main door we use, so we thought it would be nice to have more space with the kids.  Now we just need to wait for the wood to dry out and we can stain it.
