I: LIVING ROOM CARPET

Bright blue carpet: great for hiding stains, bad for tying the room together.  It fills my living room, bedroom and side room.  Today is the day, oh my Cookie Monster friend, that you're gone for good.  Well, just in the living room.  Next week, the bedroom.

Here we go!

Yuck

So there it is!  And here are some sort of lovely 'after' photos--they'll be more lovely after the floors are repainted.  I've been told that painting a floor is a bad idea, but I like the look of it and I'm gonna do it anyway!  Look for updates in Part II, in which I paint half of the floor and my wonderful Business Associate and her Lady Friend come by to at least eat pizza, and at most start sanding kitchen cabinets.

It's got that Urban Outfitters apartment feel...I guess they're going for the "just ripped up my moldy carpet" look

The Cat loves it.
