In our QUEST to re-vamp our house we went looking at carpets.....well when I say WE LOOKED it would be more accurate to say I DRAGGED Jon into the carpet showroom!
Question - "Do you like looking at carpets?"
I was first into the showroom (no surprises there) and noticed a carpet which caught my eye. On entering the shop, Jon walked over to where I was standing (bearing in mind there were several rolls of carpet on display) and pointing to the one I had earmarked announced "That one - I really like that one!" Once I had come round we did a calculation and left the shop to talk it over.
We are not ready for the carpet yet - the plasterer can not come until 28th November - but I did have a colour in mind! (wait and see!).....any ideas?
We returned the following day and put a deposit on the carpet - I was convinced the world and his wife wanted the same colour! lol!
Now - answering queries about our church - here are some photographs of the inside - I am sure you will agree it is a typicl quentesentialyl british church - notice the norman arch!

The world and his wife may well want your carpet Denise - you were right to put down that deposit to be on the safe side.
ReplyDeleteClever idea to put down a deposit, can't wait to see that carpet!!
ReplyDeleteQ is for quadruped

No No No...
ReplyDeleteNo carpet ! hahahahahahahah....
You have big dog, wet Springs, Winter snow, ice, dirty slush with muddy Falls... how can you keep your carpets clean ? That would drive me crazy.
I have tile in my home with a few smallish area rug. So much easier to keep the floors clean. Especially when one of your dogs likes to throw up.
So glad that you both liked the same choice, with no debates.
Thank you for the extra photos of the church !
Wonderful interior and again what a beautiful area you live in. I so want to live there.
cheers, parsnip
I've always hated choosing carpets because I can't make up my mind, then when I do I'm convinced I've made the wrong choice until it arrives.
ReplyDeleteGreat church building- lovely window. How many come to sorship on a sunday?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing new carpet soon!
I like it when shopping for something is so easy. I am not the shopper in my family. My husband is.
ReplyDeleteI like decisiveness in a man LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHe picked the one you liked? You've obviously been married a while. LOL
ReplyDeleteI hate wall-to-wall carpeting, but we have it because we have cold, cold winters, so it came with the house. I'd rather have good quality linoleum throughout, with area rugs. I keep buying dog-colored area rugs and putting them on top of the wall-to-wall where it has been irreparably stained, but they won't stay put.
Really looking forward to seeing how your remodeling turns out. Quick quick!

I like to look, but the smell in the carpet store makes my eyes water!
ReplyDeleteThis morning we went to see the installer start laying laminate in the house we just left to move to town, in place of the carpet we had first envisioned. I like carpeting, but hate vacumning! The church and village pictures are perfect, Denise. How you must cherish the history of St. Michaels.
ReplyDeleteOh dear - I am desperately in need of new carpet, but it is way down on the list - can't wait to see yours.
ReplyDelete:)
That sounds like a rather painless carpet shopping trip/decision! I love it...
ReplyDeletelove to be able to renovate and afford to pay for the materials.
ReplyDeleteYes, Hubs has to be dragged.... me, I go there flying. Can't wait to sort out designs. We've gone to the same shop for XXX years and the owner always lets me take samples home. I have fun with those. Loved the pictures of the church.
ReplyDeleteYour place is going to be nothing short of a palace by the time Al and Sam visit! It must be almost finished by now, most of the hard work behind you, eh?
ReplyDeleteHow very exciting! I can't wait to see the new carpet. Taking my husband to pick out new carpet would be an interesting day :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the wonderful Q comment on my post. You give me way to much credit BUT! I like it :)

Looks like you guys are into projects this year. Can't wait to see the new look!
ReplyDeleteHave you been hypnotising Jon:-) I always enjoy a mooch around a church, now I have done it without even moving. Lovely window.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you in 2012 for that cuppa.
