So, yesterday I hired a company to come out and clean my carpets in the living room and my bedroom. I am happy with the results. I used Zerorez- they are a good company and they don't use harsh chemicals like some other carpet cleaning places. Prices were reasonable. The carpet is over 8 years old and now it looks like new! The man asked me how old it was, I told him and he said it was in great shape for being that old. So, my problem is now that I moved all of my furniture out of the way I was able to get a good look at my walls and noticed that they need painting. That makes me sad..... Isn't this akin to moving into a new place and discovering that your old furniture looks bad? I guess it's not a bad thing- I really do enjoy painting and giving the walls a fresh look!!
