French apartment renovations, Day 597: Moldings, carpets, and of course soccer

We put up the first piece of decorative molding today! Only one, because we were still waiting for our angle gauge to arrive and this was the only angle in the whole room that was actually 90°!

The decorative molding will be 2 pieces put together to look like one big piece; they are copies (with slight modifications) of the few existing pieces we found on the ceiling.

This afternoon was our normal soccer marathon. After I dropped Dio off, I went to the big furniture consignment store and found two gorgous carpets, one to replace ours that had been burned by our last tenants and the other to replace the small carpet in Zari's bedroom (an old, shabby carpet we got for almost nothing 9 years ago with a big rip).

I also saw two other huge, gorgeous wool rugs and I might go back tomorrow and buy them before they disappear.

My mom made fajitas tonight, which is no small feat in France. Mexican ingredients aren't easy to find, but she succeeded. As usual, the kids were over-the-top enthusiastic about her cooking. I made tiramisu, to be eaten tomorrow night.
