Guest-room solutions?

Contents of one tiny space, less than ten by ten foot bedroom, a full of books in our bookcase with display shelves above, small dresser with mirror above, a full-size bed with headboard, free standing lamp, wicker floor glassed shelves with a small lamp on one and other decorative items, wooden trunk with wheels used as window seat with pillows...not too much for Hubby to reconfigure with the  Rug Doctor rental cleaning machine that he's picking up for starting tomorrow morning after using three cans of Woolite, one heavy traffic and two with oxi-clean and me even looking up online how to remove water stains, and it said with white vinegar and warm water and a white cloth to blot with...Even that didn't work!
I even had Hubby out yesterday trying to match up the rest of our homes white ceramic tile, and or the possibility of those new interlocking carpet tiles in a white color, but no luck!
Thinking that either would be a good resolve if it leaked all over again, hmm?
But the last time our tiles were available was in or about 2007!
And none of the interlocking ones were sold locally in white or even a light color and online they seemed to only rent them for special convention use for displays or some such thing!

Any-who, this morning was spent online trying to find regular carpeting in a loom and color that I liked that could be installed...As always previously DIY'ers our backs now call for professionals, really!
The prices have become quite ridiculous for such a small bedroom, close to four hundred, more than we would like to spend so as a last ditch effort, thus the rental machine with the high test cleaning solution... but Monday I did make arrangements with Empire Carpet to come and give us a price, but if the cleaning works for a nominal fee of just $25 for the machine and $13 for the shampoo it is our last ditch possibility, so cross your fingers and we will see what we will see, huh?

So that's what we have been up to most of today and on that note allow me to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

PS for those just joining me and wondering what all the fuss is about... our air-heat system resides in half of the guest-room closet and when it decided to flood the only room we still have carpet in, our guest-bedroom, all the rest of our home has white ceramic tile. The system was fixed but now the carpeted room must be too!
