A couple years ago, when my daughter was just starting to explore her own home, I was frustrated with her house.
My home had just received a renovation.
The remodel was to fix up the walls, and the carpet, but no one was painting the ceiling.
It was just as if I were a new mom.
As a result, the ceilings looked awful and my bedroom was full of dust.
The carpet was also not getting the job done.
I needed to make sure my home was more like my living room.
So I bought a custom-made rug, a new carpet, and a new bedding.
But all that work took up space, and my living area was now empty.
In fact, my daughter told me that she didn’t even like the new carpet and bedding and was tired of her new home.
It felt like a home away from home.
The new carpet had to be bigger and thicker, and I needed more room.
I also wanted more closet space and storage space.
To make things even more comfortable, I made a custom rug and mattress.
I could use the new rug and bed, but I also had to make the new bed the perfect fit for my daughter.
The result?
The rug and pad were perfect for her.
I love the new pad, which was the perfect size for her small frame.
And now, we have a bed that she can really sleep in, too.
It also looks good and makes a great addition to her new bedroom.
