If and when I redo my room..We are in talks about turning the garage into a space just for me ~ I want laminate! I don't care how often I have to sweep. I hate carpet! I have pets and I love them but they are dirty. Add to that the fact we live in the country. They bring their goodies they find in the house thinking "Look Ma! I brought you a treat!" Nasty!! I'd rather be able to mop and KNOW its clean than think about whats lurking in the fibers of the carpet. Plus the carpet was here when we bought the house...How do I know how its been cleaned before me?? We just redid the living room and hallway and I LOVE it! Plus pins don't get embedded in laminate. Big plus! =)
