All Decked Out is BEAUTIFUL!

Greetings from Gatlinburg. We got our first look at the 'new' All Decked Out paint today and we were blown away! Everybody is right - the rooms look SO much bigger.

We promised you a sneak preview, so here it is. We'll start with the main floor. Here's the way it used to look (with yellow walls):


Now here's roughly the same view, with the new paint:


Let's go downstairs. The family room used to look like this:


Now, it looks like this:



These pictures don't really do it justice - especially the family room pictures. You'll just have to come and see it for yourself.

But not right away. First, we're booked solid at All Decked Out until the second weekend in March. Part of that time is reserved for us to do our deep cleaning and to - are you ready - INSTALL NEW CARPET!

Yes, we took a big leap of faith today and ordered all new carpet for the whole house - top to bottom! The color is 'Mineral Earth.' That doesn't tell you much - on purpose. But you'll soon be able to see it for yourself because the scheduled installation date is Monday, February 28! We worked with Vicki and Don at Ogle's Carpet right here in Gatlinburg and they were very helpful. We'll tell you more about the process in a later post.

But wait - there's more. By this weekend, we hope to be able to tell you about some new furniture. We're heading back home tomorrow, with several stops at furniture stores. We know what we want - we just have to find it. Keep watching. Better yet, make your reservations so you can see it all in person!

Speaking of reservations, you have less than 24 hours to book at the old prices. Before we planned this quick trip to Gatlinburg, I was planning to change the prices late tonight. Now, it will happen tomorrow, with everything in place by Thursday morning. So this is truly your 'last call.'
