If all goes to plan we're finally tearing out the old shag carpeting in the den, today!!!!!

13. This was my aunt and uncle's house, built in 1967

This house has hard wood floors in every room but the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms. They put down quality but VERY UGLY (IMHO) carpeting. My aunt had epilepsy and they wanted some padding should she fall. Even the kitchen is carpeted!!

Now, I HATE carpeting but love hard wood floors. The trouble is both getting help and the logistics of what to do with the furniture. And I procrastinated. Far too long.

It's a 'split level' house with just 1 step to the upstairs. If we get the whole downstairs and upstairs hall way taken care of in the next few months, the bedrooms can be done at a later date. The master bedroom being the priority.

I'm already looking at some nice area rugs.
