I’ve been slip-sliding on our previously-carpeted-but-now-hardwood living room floor. It’s a definite change after 16 years of the same carpet. That being said, the new floor is nice 😀 I don’t know if it’s purely psychological, but the room seems cooler without the carpet. Our bedrooms have been newly carpeted. I don’t care much for it now, but I’m sure I’ll be much more grateful in the winter.
Over the years, we’ve managed to accumulate more and more furniture, meaning our house has become more and more cramped (I look at old photos and wonder where all the space went.) This week, we got rid of our ratty old sofa and armchair, and also an ancient TV. As a result, there’s a lot more room, and… well… I like it. It’s only temporary, though; on Wednesday we’ll be getting more furniture and it’ll soon fill up again. *sigh*
