lonemagpieHad a house decision surprise- despite earlier resistance to replacing the living room stain-magnet beige carpet with plusher vinyl tiles that are wipeable, and topped with Turkish style rugs, (cos I am envious of that sort of flooring in blazingskies's parents' place, and also - no fucking stains possible) Lesley said tonight that, actually, fuck it, this vinyl tile stuff is a lot easier to clean, so what the fuck, do it. So long as it's a sort of Russian period teak effect kind of thing.
Cool.
So, the stairs are already mahogany-stained wood, the hall, bathroom, kitchen and living room are all being vinyled, and only the landing will get the new blue carpet. (Because, much as I love the idea of a wood-look landing between the wooden stairs and the wood-look bathroom, I don't want slippery surfacing at the top of the stairs, for safety reasons. Cos I've slipped on lino before, and have fallen down the stairs more than enough times when I first moved here.)
And, in the morning, the bathroom will be painted...
