We also had a cream Berber carpet in the living and dining room, and in spite of suffering wine, coffee spills, and two boisterous puppies, it stood up remarkably well over the years, and was still in excellent condition when we sold, 20 years later. I don't doubt it has been replaced with something more fashionable by now.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472301814571448308.post-54257616849562993602021-08-12T10:22:34.204+01:002021-08-12T10:22:34.204+01:00When we moved here, fourteen years ago, we soon go...When we moved here, fourteen years ago, we soon got rid of the cream carpet and now have all wooden floors. We too have had incidents with red wine and carpet definitely doesn't work for us. I love floor boards.

You must feel very fit and healthy. Dog paws and cream carpets are a nightmare. I had a similar situation and a free roaming dog. Like you, I replaced everything with wide board white oak flooring and am happy with the new and improved look. Your new contemporary fireplace sounds outstanding.
