i HATE carpet.. anywhere.
i want woodflooring throughout. carpet just harbors grossness and i dont like grossness lol.
have you tried going to the tile places and asking them what they do with over-orders and wrong-cuts? a lot of times they just throw them away.. my dad found some at a tile place once that they had ordered the wrong tiles and they were also cut to the wrong sizes, so they were gunna just throw them away.. they were SO pretty.. like, a real pretty blue granite color. He rescued them and put them in the bathroom of a hosue he was flipping.
