The last house we lived in didn't have a single room that was carpeted. It didn't have real hard wood floor, but the flooring was made to look like hardwood. I hated it. In the winter, the floor was always cold, and I had to wear slippers or socks all the time, which made my feet sweat. I am looking forward to winter in the apartment, because every room, with the exception of the kitchen and bathrooms, are carpeted. My feet will be very happy.
I used to have two area rugs at the old place, and they were not picked out by me. In fact, they were display models that we got for a really good price that we just couldn't pass up. These rugs looked almost oriental, and I am more of a contemporary rug girl. I have a thing for squares when it comes to
rugs which is kind of weird, I think. I also like subtle colors better that bright or bold colors. If I could pick any rug, without worrying about the price, I would want this one in my house:
It's beautiful, isn't it? I used to lean more towards grays and blacks (I know, that's a pretty bold color, but mixed with grays it can be beautiful) but these days, I am more into neutral colors. I guess as we get older, our tastes change. Goodness knows my taste in men sure has changed.
