Don't you just love a makeover????

We have had a makeover here at the Chamber Office! I am not sure how old the carpeting in this place was but it was definitely past its prime and headed right into disgusting. :(  So we packed up everything in the office with the help of Pratt Mayflower. (They were fabulous and if I was moving they would be my first call!) Why do we never throw anything out until have to start moving it around? Anyway once we had the office cleared out the carpet installers showed up and got right to work. Joanne Anderson at Design Effects did a great job helping us pick out carpet and paint. The carpet was installed over a Friday afternoon and Saturday so we came in Monday morning to new carpet and that lovely new carpet smell. We spend Monday morning painting walls and Monday afternoon Pratt Mayflower returned with all of our goodies. Why does it take so much longer to put things back together? We had it torn down in about a half day but putting it back together has taken soooooo much longer! We are finally about finished with the renovation (most of them anyway) and it is so wonderful. It looks great and it smells new and we are very happy. I would be doing makeovers all the time if they weren't so much work. :)  Come see our new look.
