I can’t believe the playroom carpet is already installed! It only took about five hours from start to finish. The task seemed so daunting before I got started, but maybe that’s because my other two carpet tile experiences were not this easy. In this room, the walls are fairly square and there isn’t a whole lot of moulding to cut around.
The seams between tiles are somewhat visible, and my cuts along the edges are a little less than professional, but it still looks really great.
And the neutral beige grid pattern is so much better than the blue, dontcha think?
Just don’t inspect the edges where the carpet meets the baseboards and we’ll all remain friends.
Like my other carpet projects, I got these carpet tiles from a local discount home improvement store. And like my other carpet projects, I got an awesome deal on the tiles. I paid $233 for 216 sq./ft. of carpet (that’s $1 a sq./ft. plus tax). Not too bad, right? I really don’t think we could have done much better.
Honestly, this space has been undone for so long, it’s near completion kind of sneaked up on me. Now that it’s so within reach, I’m scrambling around, gathering up everything from seating to storage.
