When I redid my bedroom, I took a quilt to the carpet shop. Told them I wanted a carpet to match/blend with the quilt. I was informed that's not the way its done, you get the carpet then match the carpet.
told them in my house the carpet matches the quilt or it doesn't go in. grin. They finally got it that I meant it. then when they came to measure the room, they said there was a problem, how were they to put carpet under the bed? I built in a platform bed with huge drawers underneath. I just looked at him and said, "can't you see that the bed is permanently in place. You carpet around it. The poor guy just looked blank and finally "got it" "OH its grown down". YES! grin. Was fun though.
