So we’ve been in our house for almost two years now. I think we just started to hang photos on the walls about 6 months ago so yeah, we’re settling in. I don’t know why it takes so long to make a place your own. Maybe it’s work + basketball practice, soccer games, ballet twice a week, girl scouts, destination imagination… You know, life.
We love our house. Yes, we built it. Yes, we got to pick out everything, but 23 months in and I’m seeing that there are still things that I would have done different, things I’m already ready to change. You might be able to relate. Is this you too?
- We must have lost our minds when we put carpet in the master closet. Clearly we were delusional because 1) it’s flanked by tile on both entries, and 2) it’s the first place the puggies run to when their stomach is upset because you KNOW they can’t ever throw up or have an accident on the tile. Or even the hardwoods. They make a bee-line for the closet or the landing on the CARPETED stairs. If you have a pet, I know you feel my pain. Cleaning that up out of pile is a major disaster. (Can I get an “amen?”)
- We upgraded the carpet pad, but we didn’t upgrade the carpet and it’s already showing major wear on the high traffic areas after LESS THAN 2 YEARS. Ugh.
- We never should have let our salesman talk us out of hardwoods on the stairs. We should have gone at least for the carpet runner down the middle because we WANTED hardwoods. We are just hardwood floor people. It’s that simple.
- We put carpet upstairs because we thought it would be quieter — but again, really wanted hardwoods. Oh, and it’s dang expensive so that may have had a little to do with it as well.
What’s a girl to do? I still have painting to do, and rooms to finish and lots of decorations to buy for the upcoming holidays. I’m not really in the mood to spend a lot on floors when we already HAVE floors if you know what I mean. They’re just “mistake” floors that need a MommyUpgrade. 😉
Well… thankfully Mohawk Flooring’s anniversary sale is underway through October 26th. It’s the one time of year when you can get the best savings on Mohawk’s most popular hardwood and carpet styles to make your rooms look as gorgeous as these.
They even have a coupon for up to $500 off select SmartStrand and ArmorMax hardwood, or 50% off select styles of SmartStrand and Wear-Dated carpet — you know, the puggie-proof kind?
But I may not have mentioned that we’re currently wrapping up a pool and outdoor kitchen build in our backyard sooooooo…. the hubs is DEFINITELY not in the mood to spend any money to fix those “mistakes” right now. Mohawk to the rescue again! They are hosting a sweepstakes running from October 1 through the 16th with CASH prizes of up to $2,500! I probably shouldn’t share the details with you because I don’t want the competition, BUT since I love my readers, here’s how you can find out more about the Mohawk sweepstakes: Follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, or the Google and they’ll remind you when it’s time to enter.
And before you go, can we just talk bout how GORGEOUS these grey wood floors are? I’m swooning over them in a huge way!
