Hardwood Floor Hallway Makeover
The first time I walked through the doors of our home I saw it. It was kinda hard to miss.
Green carpet. Oh, sure, it wasn’t everywhere. There were hardwood floors in the kitchen and breakfast nook, slate in the entry and mudroom, neutral carpet in the family room and bedrooms.
But everywhere else there was green carpet. Up the staircase which greets you from the front door and running down the upstairs hallway. In the office to the right of the entry and in the living room and dining room to the left.
Green carpet. It wasn’t the most offensive shade of green but it certainly wasn’t doing the house any favors!
