Yes your eyes do not deceive you, that is indeed an IRON imprint on the carpet in one of our guest bedrooms. How any self-respecting home owner makes such a booboo and then simply LEAVES IT like that is beyond me. Honestly.
The before and after - I feel like we should have been on a home makeover show (look at this poor young couple, with their undeniably crappy little house...and...LOOK at it now. Oh that's disappointing. Why is there no furniture? Oh yes, they are POOR as well as saddled with the little house. Or maybe BECAUSE they are saddled with said house.) Home ownership is not for the fainthearted people. But it brings its rewards...
And yes, there are many skirtings missing. I spent a lovely Saturday morning vibrating my arms into oblivion sanding the jolly things. Then we have to paint them white and we (read: hubby) has to install them. The floors were not stained, just sanded a couple of times and then sealed. The teak came out beautifully!
PS: that pattern is called criss cross
PPS: no it's not, I made that up, go and google it yourself
