When we moved into our new house, there appeared to be 3 rooms that still had the original carpet from when the home was built - two of the bedrooms upstairs and my office. We knew that we would wanted to replace that carpet when we had the funds and so I was on the lookout for a replacement for it. We really like the carpet that is in our great room - off the kitchen - so I was trying to find something similar to that. It is a super soft carpet that is a neutral beige color, but with multiple colors in it, not a solid color.
One day I was looking at Home Depot and found something that is pretty close to an exact match. Then they had a sale going on with free installation and a percentage off of the total if you opened a Home Depot credit card. So we decided to go forward with it for the two bedrooms. (We are looking at either hardwood or laminate for my office. I don't want carpet in there.)
Someone came out to measure the rooms and then they ordered the carpet and pad and then we set up an installation date. We decided to remove the old carpet and padding ourselves to save some money. So when the installer showed up on Wednesday morning, it was a pretty quick and smooth job for him. Since everything had to be moved out of the rooms, we decided to swap the room that MJ and Kay are sleeping in and setup our old queen bed in the other room for a guest bedroom. (Luke and M&M have their own bedrooms downstairs and Blondie & Kitty share a room downstairs.)

| Some before pictures - this one has the carpet removed with the pad still in. |

| It's hard to tell in this picture but the carpet was pretty worn right around the doorway into the rooms. |

| It doesn't look too different in the pictures but it looks and feels totally different in person! |
