Change of plans!

Ok, so we pulled up the carpet and the padding from the living room for transplantation into the media room. Two problems reared their ugly heads.

One, the padding was sorta old and laden with sand. (Why sand?)
Two, the carpet had some interesting stains on the underside. They were mostly in the far corner of the room and against the far wall..... Hmmm.... I guess the previous owners had pets at some point.

So, the hardwood floor underneath the carpet can be resurrected because it's in decent shape (despite the cat/dog piss stains), but there's no way I'm gonna transplant bad carpet into a fresh room!

In any case, the change of plans turned into a complete rethink of the media room. The dark green wall paint we chose was based on the dark green carpet. Since we no longer needed to re-use the carpet, we could change the wall color.

SO..... we repainted the entire room and ordered a brownish copper colored carpet. Black miniblinds and curtains will block the sunlight, and the screen surround, media center (rack), wall unit, tables, and chairs will all be black. Thus, we have a room that's sorta medium saddle leather color with black features. I'll post pics as soon as the carpeting gets installed. I promise.
