Love the wall color, but the carpet?!

But then all the sudden, you realize, "wow, this SO doesn't go with my carpet". Now what? Best thing about home improvement - there is always a solution. Find answers here, help other Janes with their dilemmas. You go girl!

There are so many new things to do instead of carpet. I have dogs, so carpet is one option I stay away from. A friend of mine ripped up his carpet and painted the cement, and laquered it...I believe there is also a metod of "stamping" the cement and making designs in it...you can also us vinyl tile...inexpensive, easy and can be changed easily when you get bored of it. There are some BEAUTIFUL vinyls out now that look like real tile...it also gives you the option to be creative and have fun with your floors.

Carpet tiles

Rip up the carpet and replace them with carpet tiles! I've always wanted to do this but can't justify ripping out our carpet, which is in good condition and neutral in color. FLOR (www.flor.com) sells carpet tiles that you lay down with no adhesive (and they're made not to slide around). All the tiles interlock so that it looks just like wall-to-wall carpet when it's in. The best part--aside from being super easy--is that you can use different pattern and color carpet tiles to customize your room. My favorite are the gerber daisy carpet tiles! Check it out and see if it could work for you. Good luck!

wow so much you can do.

Concrete Acid Staining is a great solution. It is very easy to do and turns out amazingly. It can look like polished stone, very high class. ;) You can get a simple, cost effective product ($1/sq. ft.) from DCsurfaces.com. The website has an online store, lots of info and lots of photos of final products.

That was so much fun..

We put a concrete acid stain on a driveway for one of our shows on MSN. It totally changed the look of the house. If you want to see how we did it, here's the link to the video and article:

Watch how we changed the look of a driveway with Concrete Stain (video)!

This is what it looked like before. Take a look at the video to see how it turned out.
