new carpet!

ever since we moved in, i had big plans to replace the carpet.  i'm guessing it's not that old, is in pretty good shape, and is a neutral color.  fine.  but i could not stand the length of the twist!  twist at all, really.  but it was so long and shaggy, i had to vacuum like north-south, then east-west, and then repeat at least once...  still after all those passes with a vacuum cleaner, i was picking things up by hand after i finished.  beyond annoying.
 i got the compromise from weston to go ahead and replace the carpet, and there was a great promotion going on, so we went for it.  it was only in three rooms, so the scope of the job wasn't all that great.  i picked a neutral gray color, plush, super soft, nylon fiber.  i love it!

I love it! BUT are those real wood floors? Jealous on both counts, carpet and wood!

@river - yes, finished wood underneath :) it was tempting to leave but with the noise and temperatures, we just couldn't do it ;)
