At times we have to choose between the path that is conventional and the path that is not. In today's world that once worn path that our great grandparents traveled is so overgrown and forgotten that it barely exists. Our goal is to reforge that forgotten path and make it new again.

My House Doesn't Smell Like a Barn!...Anymore.

The smell that used to greet us at the door and remind us of an animal shelter is gone. Yippee Skippie it is gone! It involved a particularly nasty carpet that is roughly 10 years old and a cat who thinks rugs are litter boxes. Unfortunately Dylan thought right smack dab in front of the door was a good spot for her litter box. We didn't see eye to eye on this issue. So I spent one evening with an exacto blade, measuring tape, sharpie marker and bleach solution spray bottle to transform the dirty ole sponge into a vinyl entry space by the front door. When I lighted my smelly candles last night I actually smelled them. Ah, what a nice change.
I can't wait to rip up ALL of the carpet and put laminate flooring down instead. If you have ever heard me rant about how much I hate carpet you know on that day I will be in total bliss!

Wow I bet you are still pleased every time you walk in. Honestly the "after" picture looks a whole of a lot better so I think you did a smart thing regardless of the smell issue!
