I'm glad I work from home

because the measurer is coming in an hour to pre-measure our downstairs for new carpet.

OMG.  Unbelievably exciting.

Yes, I know we were holding out for installed hardwoods, but it's just not in the budget and I can't spend another *month* looking at that filthy disgusting pale green (??) stuff.  So we're going the cheap route and getting some crappy carpet installed as a holdover.

We'll be going in on Friday night or Saturday to pick out the actual carpet piece.  Any suggestions for texture, non-texture, etc?  I'm leaning toward a pattern or frieze ... with pattern being the strong favorite.

I have no input on carpet, since it is not my thing, but I totally can relate to how exciting it is to replace yucky flooring. I am excited for you.

A change is better than no change even if hardwood is not in the budget right now.
