The Carpet

The carpeting in the living room and dining room is some sort of alien color that either looks brown or pink depending on how close you are to it. There has been hours of conversation around what the exact name of this carpet color is. Julie and I have settled on “Cat Barf” as it’s the exact color of regurgitated Fancy Feast. We’re open to any decorating advise on how to play down or mute this abhorrent color short of ripping up the perfectly functional and clean carpeting.

The Fireplace

The fireplace is fake. I’m not too keen on it as it kills the only good TV wall. Julie likes it. The compromise is a flat screen TV hung above the fireplace. Not sure how to rig a DVD player and game consoles up to it then. This is not a problem we’ll tackle for a while though.

The Living Room

This is the living from opposite corners. The front door is across from the bottom of the steps. The living room leads into the dining room and the kitchen. The ceiling is textured and glittery. We don’t know what to think of the glitter effect yet. The whole room screams Pink. The carpet is pink though it looks brown from a distance. It’s fairly new and in great shape. I’ll upload a better picture of the carpeting later.

The pink has to go though. We don’t want to shell out the expense of recarpeting the living and dining rooms when the carpet is so new. But I want to strip that wallpaper as soon as settlement is over. We’re talking about repainting up to the chair rail in a brown or sage green.
