Wish we could afford hardwood, but I don't think we could install it ourselves.</p> <p>The carpet in that room was actually some bound remnant that the prior owners took home and just put on top of the existing carpet pad (which was cr@p) and tack strips. Professional job it wasn't!</p> <p>The house I grew up in was pretty colorful (gotta love 70's coloring). We had royal blue carpet, brick red carpet, brown (!) carpet, and a mustard yellow kitchen. The carpet in my bedroom was a textured royal blue/red combo. Which I delightfully paired with lavender walls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285801 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:05:27 +0000 PurplePumps 285801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was already there and the same color as Strawberry bee's carpet. It's not awful, but I prefer hardwood, so as soon as it gets nasty enough to need replacing, we're getting hardwoods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285799 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:04:53 +0000 Minnie_Girl 285799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Ugh, yes! Right next to each other, no less! There was also 70 year old orange/dirt colored "carpet" in the attic. My parents' house had a lot of personality... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285787 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:00:03 +0000 autumnlove 285787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: BOTH? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285711 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:33:35 +0000 ladyfingers 285711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: Beautiful! I love wood floors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285710 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:33:13 +0000 ladyfingers 285710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ew! There's nothing I hate more than forest green carpeting. I've never seen royal blue! That's just wrong. </p> <p>Our house was remodeled before we bought it, so there is brand new laminate throughout. Which is now all scratched to hell from the cat after just 5 months, but whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285700 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:30:32 +0000 StrawberryBee 285700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when I moved in (dirty beige) in the upstairs bedrooms, hallway, and stairs. I've slowly been transitioning over to other types of flooring that are easier to clean the fur off of. Plus my cats have taken great joy in trying to dig into the bedrooms -_-;;.</p> <p>This was our project from Labor Day weekend!: </p> [attach=2320/12/m9zeux.454x600.guest.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285688 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:25:46 +0000 Minnie_Girl 285688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our house has carpet in the bedrooms, family room, and my office. It's beige, thankfully! I grew up in a house with both forest green and royal blue carpets. Not my favorites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285681 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:22:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 285681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a very light beige colored carpet, it's disgusting, I'm pretty sure it's orginial with the house (9 years old) but it's seen a lot of life. Hopefully we can replace it soon with a darker color that is nicer and clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285674 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:19:54 +0000 prettylizy 285674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bedrooms and basement have taupe carpet. They all need to be replaced in the next year or so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285665 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:13:18 +0000 mrs. bird 285665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No carpet, all wood ( I wouldn't call them hardwood floors though, the bamboo is so soft it gets trashed by anything!) and tile in the kitchen &amp; bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285652 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:07:09 +0000 heffalump 285652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have carpet in the bedrooms, it came with the house. It's just a tan color though, nothing exciting or bad thank goodness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285611 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 07:38:41 +0000 regberadaisy 285611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The new house we bought had orange shag carpet. I swear it was original to the house. GROSS.<br /> The only rooms that will have carpet are the family room and bedroom hallway. It's a super duper soft &amp; plush, lifetime stain resistant carpet in a charcoal gray. Lurve it. My husband's in the business and he said it's the nicest stuff out there right now that money can buy. hehe It was funny because he tells his customer that he had to sell his own wife on the carpet. He told me that neither red wine or bleach would stain this carpet. I did not believe him. We did a test and he was right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285586 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 07:02:02 +0000 lomom 285586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was fairly new carpet, a beige color, even though our home was built in the 70s. We ripped out the carpet though, there are GORGEOUS hardwoods underneath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-color#post-285581 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 07:00:22 +0000 autumnlove 285581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have carpet in your home? Was it already there or did you have it put in? What color is it?</p> <p>I've been looking at a lot of older homes with forest green or royal blue carpet! </p>
