LAST POLL RESULTS

30.4% of you voted Hardwood in Friday’s poll: What type of flooring makes up most of your home?

“THE CHEAP FAKE KIND. REALLY CRAPPY.”

“…and it makes my feet super cold, because when I was a little girl, our houses had nothing but carpet. So my guess is that I’m just not used to freezing-cold hardwood flooring.”

“Old house.”

“Tore up all the wall-to-wall carpeting when I moved in. The wood was in great shape.”

“Hardwood gives me happy feet…”

“Looks good and easy to keep clean.”

“We have hardwood in every room, on every floor. It’s so much cleaner than carpet. But I do wish we had tile in the bathrooms with showers.”

“All hardwood floors except the kitchen. Love my hardwood floors.”

“Hardwood floors downstairs and carpet upstairs.”

“Granted, it’s large swaths of carpet over aging hardwood floors — ones that are no longer in good condition. Without the carpet, we’d be subjected to poorly maintained hardwood or basement concrete floors! BRRRR.”

“We rent in income-based apartments.”

“20-year-old carpet.”

“And I HATE it!”

“I’m phasing out my carpet — it’s just not practical.”

“I would get rid of all the carpeting if I could! It’s so hard to keep clean. I love animals, but carpet and animals just don’t go well together. I just don’t have the money to remove it all — I bought the house with the carpet. I have rose pink, green, country blue, and tan carpet in the house. Also indoor/outdoor in the dining room! Anybody have an extra $20,000 lying around to give me for new flooring????”

“My apartment is half super-old linoleum and half moderately-old carpet. I dream of hardwood floors. :)”

“We have wood floors in a couple of rooms, and carpeting and laminate in the others. I really love the look of wood floors, so at some point I’d love to put wood flooring down where we currently have carpeting.”

“The house at home is all carpet, with the kitchen and bathrooms, of course, in tile. My condo at the beach has carpet, tile, and laminate. I’d really like to just pull up the carpet and go all laminate. Cleaning up after my pup can be a pain, lol!”

“I had vinyl tile in all but 2 rooms, and 2 rooms had carpet when the house was built in 1971.”

“We put laminate flooring in our entire house except one bedroom because our son is in a wheelchair.”

“Vinyl laminate in the den and dining areas; tile in the kitchen, breakfast nook, and bathrooms; carpet in the bedrooms.”

“Tile, hardwood, and carpet.”

“A mix of two: carpet and tile that looks like wood.”

“Plywood.”

“Wood and tile.”

“1ST FLOOR TILE.”

“We replaced all the flooring in our house with cheap vinyl tile. After seeing how badly the ‘scratch-resistant’ flooring scratches, I’m not sure I’d do it again.”

“We have stained concrete. So easy to clean and looks beautiful.”
