Working Floor

The cat peeing on the carpet was the catalyst, but it all started with my frenzy of upholstering last summer.

First it was the dining-room chairs, then a new cover for the living-room sofa, then an ottoman for the TV room in the basement, then reupholstering the chair in the family room which forced me to buy a new sofa because the old one didn't match, making a matching ottoman because I had left-over fabric - and then the carpet just looked terrible with the new sofa.

 The new floor is a much better match, even though I haven't re-hung the pictures yet.

And I'm glad my daughter persuaded me to paint the fireplace wall while I was at it.

The new floor works pretty well (as a floor) and it almost even looks as though it's, y'know, real, as if someone who knew what they were doing installed it. Almost.

I don't think this is the start of a new series the way the dining-room chairs was. This was big enough to stand on its own.
