Recently, we discovered a forgotten "pot of gold" in an internet banking account I thought was closed, so we have decided to spend this on a new carpet for our lounge/diner area.
The present carpets are thin, stained and burnt with iron marks from the previous owners. We have been very slowly working down our list of things we want to do to our house since we moved in about 2 years ago, and carpets had come to the top of the list!
A few days before this discovery, we had a flier through from a local furniture and carpet firm advising of a "previous customer" preview of their sale :-)
We have chosen two samples for quotes.. both pure wool, and both from British sheep - also the underlay is going to be made from recycled foam, so we are doing our best to shop locally, use recycled products and buy British :-)
We both really like the more expensive of the two carpets, but we will see what the quotes are like, and take it from there.
Photos will follow evenutally!!

Look forward to seeing the photos.
You have to imagine what they will look like covered with cat hairs!
We have had our quote.. it will stretch the budget we had set but its a lovely carpet.. just gotta wait for a date now!!
yes.. it will have cat hairs on very soon but its got lots of colours in it.. not plain.. so shouldnt be too noticeable. (we hope)
