avevale_intelligencerSome of you, those who have visited us in the last five years, may remember that the carpet on the stairs, once a pleasant pattern in muted earth tones, had become a grey, frayed remnant of its former self, and in several places was positively unsafe. This, with the Countess's poor eyesight and lack of feeling in her feet, was a no-no, and so we have scraped together enough to replace it. And, to our very great delight, we managed to find one she actually liked.
This is the landing, viewed from the doorway of the master bedroom.
This is the view down the stairs.
And this is the hall. The vacuum cleaner has been fully occupied removing the fine grey dust that was all that remained of the foam backing of the old carpet.
It's beautifully soft and bouncy and even tempted me out of my slippers. Jan's very happy with it, which makes a nice change. Next step is the living room, though that will probably have to wait till I get a job, please GODS...
