From Hardwood to Carpet

When first looked at this house, one of our favorite features of it were the hardwood floors throughout.  That's probably because were living in an apartment that had its fair share of carpet.  Fast forward a year and a half, and we were sick of hardwood.  Sick of the area rug sliding all over the living room.  Sick of floors being so cold.  Sick of the ottoman flipping the rug up whenever we moved it.  And after some discussion, we decided carpet would be nice.

So we stopped a few local stores, compared prices and quality of carpet, and settled on Albany Carpet Warehouse. The salesman there was the most helpful, and seemed the most honest.  Yeah, we know that's like saying, "Hey,  that hyena to the right of seems super nice compared to the other one!"  Pick your poison, I guess.  Don't get me started on salesmen. 

After deciding we definitely wanted the living room done, we liked the idea of having the master bedroom carpeted as well.

What about you? Do you like the smooth, modern look of hardwood? Or the do you prefer the plush, comfortable feeling of carpet between your toes?
