Weekend Studying #179 – Making it within the Mountains

A fast little replace & my favorite reads from the week.

Completely happy Friday my mates! How was your week? Ours felt further busy round right here with Brady away for work by many of the week. Fortunately he made it again simply in time to rejoice Carson’s twelfth birthday right this moment! I don’t know why, however this birthday is hitting otherwise this yr – I simply can’t consider my candy little man is out of the blue 12 years previous one way or the other. The place did the time go?! We’ll be celebrating the large day with all of C’s favourites – sushi, angel meals cake (with a great deal of strawberries and whipped cream after all!) and a complete day of journey within the metropolis along with his greatest bud. We’ve hardly ever celebrated with a giant social gathering for C’s birthday, opting as a substitute to spend a day along with a detailed pal or two doing one thing particular. I really like that we get to spend this time along with him and his mates – I couldn’t consider a greater technique to rejoice him! C spends months considering up concepts for issues he’d love to do – this yr we’ll be hitting up the indoor skate park (this has been on his bucket checklist for years now!), testing an arcade and taking in a film in a giant, fancy theatre (a really completely different expertise than the little small city theatre we’re used to right here).

On prime of all of the birthday celebration prep, in the event you’ve caught my stories on Instagram recently, you’ll know that we’ve been searching for some new carpet for the Pyramid Room (our bonus room over the storage). We’ve been utilizing the area as our main bed room since shifting in, however, if we ever make it by our second flooring renovations, finally we image this area functioning as an additional lounge area in addition to an workplace for Brady for the times that he works from residence.

I got here residence with some samples final week, and whereas all of them would have been simply tremendous, there wasn’t a single one which I used to be actually enthusiastic about. I spent all week attempting to speak myself into the least costly choice (pictured under), however I simply couldn’t shake how boring it felt on this area. Whereas I wish to be sensible in my alternative, the Pyramid Room is such a novel and enjoyable area with all of it’s little alcoves and sloped ceilings all over the place – I simply assume a carpet with a little bit of persona would match the area so a lot better. Sadly, it appears that evidently persona comes with the next price ticket. As a result of this room is off in it’s personal little world upstairs and actually received’t see a lot when it comes to site visitors or put on + tear, I simply can’t justify spending an excessive amount of on flooring in right here.

I needed to head again into the town for an appointment this week and so, whereas I used to be there, I made a decision to make a fast cease to see what different choices I could possibly discover for carpet – hoping I’d come throughout one thing with a bit extra persona with out the excessive price ticket. And guys, I’m SO glad I did! I ended up coming residence with three new choices that I’m feeling a lot extra enthusiastic about! Right here’s a fast peek at them under – which one is your favorite?

With Carson’s birthday celebrations and an organization hockey match within the books this weekend, I’m considering we received’t get a lot work executed round the home, however that’s okay, I feel we’re all prepared for slightly break anyway. Wishing you a fun-filled weekend too my mates!
