Frugal Farm Renovation: CARPET!!!!!!!!!!!!

CARPET!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never showed you a picture of the trim board on the edge of the bamboo floor.

Then the carpet guys came!

Then we started moving toys into what will be a really big playroom until we finish the basement and turn it into a really big playroom, and the upstairs becomes a master suite.

What amazes me is that I know that we have so many fewer toys that a lot of families. Yet there are still so many!
