carpet cleaning, continued

Who knew having your carpets cleaned was such a big project?  But I'm happy to report that things are pretty much back in order.  I vacuumed all the carpets, as instructed, but they still look pretty much the same - beige.  I didn't really expect any big changes.  There weren't any stains or anything like that but it feels good to know it's all clean.  There's one exception though to everything being back in order. The guest bedroom is still fairly chaotic.  I have a nice big walk-in closet in that bedroom and I use it to store special stuff like all of my Christmas decorations, not to mention Easter and Halloween and boxes of stuff that I haven't opened since I moved in here four years ago.  I really wanted that closet carpet cleaned so I dragged everything out and stacked it on the beds.  Now I have to put it all back and I know I can't just shove everything back in there.  I need to sort through some stuff.  I have a sinking feeling that things are going to go back in the closet much mroe slowly than  they came out.   On the other hand, maybe I'll discover some long forgotten treasure that I can take to Antiques Roadshow.  Hope springs eternal.
