Carpet Installed

Yesterday our carpet in the nursery was installed. We ended up finding the carpet we really, really liked at Alexanian Carpet & Flooring about 1 month ago.

We went to the Laird + Eglinton location and the style of carpet that I fell in love with was a Godfrey Hirst Wool Carpet. I liked that it had some texture to it, and really liked the waffle look.

Since we needed to order carpet in 12 ft width - and the room was between 8-9 feet wide, we decided to use the remnant for the runner to the basement. It cost a little extra for the binding cost, but it was less expensive than if we were to order a runner later seperately.

I'll take better "day" pictures tomorrow, but wanted to post an update! It makes such a HUGE difference in the nursery and I now don't have this fear of slipping down the stairs. ;)

Thank you!! It's super comfy now in the room, and the stairs are so much safer than before going into the basement. A good thing as I become more front heavy with this baby!

Kdnana- the ceiling light used to be in our kitchen. I bought it 2 years ago at a little store here in Toronto called MANOR. I have to find the manufacturer name, which I'll have with the nursery round up of sources when it's all done.

That's the same reason why we had carpet installed in our house: to avoid slipping. It took us a couple of accidents before we finally decided to get the house carpeted. Yes, the cleaning became more difficult, but I don't do it all by myself. Greensboro carpet cleaning experts are always there to assist me in case of family gatherings and house parties. Good thing I'm patient with carpet cleaning. Greensboro could use patient wives like me.
