I kinda like the carpet in an oddly amused sort of way. :PCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843459906469325667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735567962622470867.post-71967703982805930672011-02-16T22:56:48.069+00:002011-02-16T22:56:48.069+00:00Ooh, looks so cosy.

I said I was 'declaring war' on my carpet, but guess what... you know those shiny wooden floors!! (I'm going to compare prices at least. If it proves MUCH more expensive, I may yet settle for a new carpet.)<br /><br />Meanwhile, thank you for your kind words. Maybe I should consider teaching in some shape or form :pHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357761230206692089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735567962622470867.post-38229538293624131262011-02-16T16:52:51.661+00:002011-02-16T16:52:51.661+00:00In the beginning was a coal fire maybe, but that w...In the beginning was a coal fire maybe, but that was before your time. You tell a story very well with words and especially pictures. You would make a good school teacher. Good luck with the carpet. In Canada only the old folk want carpets, The young folk go for silent black cork or shiny noisy wood floors.<br />Not that we are implying you are old. Not at all. Not one bit.....Michael and Hannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231212221228037889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735567962622470867.post-84319088228160823702011-02-16T15:54:59.227+00:002011-02-16T15:54:59.227+00:00Well, after all the waiting you new fireplace look...Well, after all the waiting you new fireplace looks wonderful! I remember when we first moved in here I longed to change the fireplace and patterned carpet - it did get done eventually:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735567962622470867.post-797170238169093782011-02-16T15:39:39.386+00:002011-02-16T15:39:39.386+00:00You must be feeling very cosy.

It's like a new lease on life.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735567962622470867.post-65366649653220098252011-02-16T13:42:45.401+00:002011-02-16T13:42:45.401+00:00Nothing like making one improvement to find there&...Nothing like making one improvement to find there's a few more things awaiting their turn in the wings!<br /><br /><br />Your new grate looks marvellous, H and I'm sure you'll be thrilled with your new carpet, too.
