Ode to the Blue Carpet

This blog post is an ode to our now removed blue carpet.  We changed out our flooring a few weeks ago, and I'm thrilled that we got that opportunity because it's now easier to clean, better for allergies and asthma, and better looking.  But the blue carpet was the defining look of the first 3 years in this house, so I want to post a few pictures in memory before I get to the before and after reveal at the end.

Nice soft surface for babies

Playing ferry boat - blue carpet doubles as pretend water

Soft surface for wrestling

Playing pirate boat, again with the pretend water

Posing for soooo many pictures

Soft surface for playtime


Now that I've paid proper tribute, here's the before and after reveal:

This is the before...
...and this is the after!

    OMG what a difference. I put light blue carpet in my bedroom in Andover, MN. Hated it almost from day one. BIG mistake. The floor is lovely.

      Thanks! I had a love hate relationship with this carpet -- it was nice to have a soft surface for the little kids to play (and crash) on, but I like the look and the cleanliness of the new floors SOOO much more.
