Carpeting…Day 7

The Interior Design Carpet crew was back this morning to install carpet in the stairwell between the garage and bonus room. The first photo shows Jimmy as he cuts carpeting to fit the stairs on the paver surface in front of the garage. I picked this carpeting (it will be the only time) from the giant supply Rick Armstrong keeps in his Minnetonka warehouse.

The next photo shows the rubber stair treads on the first two steps up from the garage floor. We decided to use rubber treads to make sure any moisture from the garage does not get to the carpet. I think the combination of black treads, speckled carpeting, and grey walls looks pretty good.

The third photo shows the carpeting at the first landing as the stairs wind toward bonus room above.

Jimmy and his crew ran their 100 lb roller over the carpet in the bonus room again. Almost all of the bubbles disappeared after this rolling and he tells us that they will all go away once the glue is fully cured. The two photos below show the new carpeting from opposite ends of the bonus room.  This room looks amazing with the carpet in place…almost all the workers are threatening to move into the space!
