Ahhhh, Much Better!

So, our duplex we're renting has tile everywhere except the bedrooms.  For some reason, that's the ideal thing here in Texas...but I don't like it.  I want carpet in my living room for sure, and probably even in most hallways!  I like wood/laminate floors for kitchen, entries, etc. but carpet is so nice in living areas.  I don't like buying area rugs because they are expensive (even a simple one at Walmart that was only 5'x8' was $75) and it's hard to find one that is likeable!  So, Ben and I took the example of some friends of ours and we went to a carpet place and bought an 8'x9' carpet remnant for $56.  We didn't get anything fancy or have the edges bound like we wanted to, but we did hot-glue the edges as advised by the lady that sold us the carpet and it worked perfectly!  Now we have something a little softer and warmer under our feet in the living room! 

 All vacuumed and ready for the furniture placement,

 Looks good!

 That's nice!

We may still get a runner or two for a couple other places, but at least the living room has something. :)
