I found these two references which are in agreement: 1. On youtube: https://youtu.be/APKXNPQrv_s 2. shortened http://goo.gl/arVv9E To remove PLAY-DOH compound from carpet or fabrics, allow it to dry completely, and then loosen with a stiff brush. It may be necessary to vacuum clean or wash with gentle soap and cold water. You may need to repeat the process in order to completely remove the PLAY-DOHcompound.”Jun 4, 2013 Good luck and let us know how it goes.(don't forget a post cleaning photo) I'm no chemist, but given the ingredients of playdoh, I think an oil may compromise the colour of the carpet. .. though I have heard that peanut butter (with it's oil) is excellent for getting chewing gum out of hair. ... bu then that's a different problem entirely.

Hi Kathy, so thrilled to hear my comments got you started thinking of the big picture, it has been a pleasure working with this. When you are starting totally from scratch like this it is easy to become too close to the issues and the brain becomes overloaded so you can't see the woods for the trees. I think this is also a classic example of why I always tell people to live in a house for a year before beginning to decorate, as hard as it is to be patient and wait, you do need to get the feel for a house and relate your lifestyle to it. I do like your idea of splitting the room into two areas, the room looks big enough to give you this option, and to me intimate spaces within a room create a more welcoming and homely feel. When you have a good idea of the furniture you would like, put what you have in the room and measure anything else before you buy it, use newspaper or cardboard boxes the size of the pieces and put them around the room to ensure you are going to get the desired result. It can be so easy to over or under estimate just how much space furniture will take up. Sorry the green lounge in the study didn't work out, but glad this has helped you see options. Just my personal opinion, one of my joeys had a lovely old grandfather clock in her lounge room and while it was a beautiful piece of furniture to look at, I just found it a little on the intrusive side - with its constant chiming it just didn't make the room feel relaxing, one was just so aware of the passing of time. Of course this can be advantageous when certain rellies visit. She ended up moving hers to her entrance foyer where it was a stand out feature and the lounge room became so much more relaxing. Love to see some photos of your landscaping.

Keep it simple if you are keeping the carpet in the dining and sunken lounge, you would just have to shampoo the carpet under the dining when it gets grubby. If your carpet is in good condition you could Keep the carpet in the sunken lounge, tile the rest. Take up the carpet in both areas and tile. Then have two large carpet rugs made from the old carpet for under the dining and in the lounge. cheers
