Meet "Marvin"

you know...

MESSY MARVIN!!!

As we continue to work on his new Big Boy room,

our next project takes us to the floor.

This is what MOST of Jackson's, excuse me, Marvin's carpet

looks like.  It is the original carpet that we put in

almost 8 years ago...

I don't really know why I picked out such a light carpet.

This is what it looks like now,

Marvin has managed to put lotion,

A & D ointment, and just general dirt

right inside the entrance to his room.

I tried buying a rug to just "cover" the spot,

but then the door would not close.

We have tried EVERY thing we could think

of to clean it.  It will look good for a day or two

and then end up looking 10 times worse.

So, we have decided to just re-carpet his room.

The way our flooring is done, each individual bedroom meets

hard woods or tile, so we do not have

to match it to the existing carpet.

I think we have decided on a Frieze Carpet

and the color is Fawn.

It's darker than what is in there right now,

and hopefully will hold up to

this little boy!!

(and yes, we did discuss putting down

outdoor carpet so we could just

spray it down with a hose!)

So, I am off to get on the schedule to have it installed.

Check back soon!

More bedroom progress to come!!
