Everything was carpeted, that included all the areas around the indoor heartshaped whirlpool/spa and even the floors in the bathroom were covered in carpet, and it grossed me out -- my imagination sometimes runs wild but I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just saying. LOL

Personally I would go with tile or hardwood or anything except fabric and then use large area rugs.
So, they didn’t use the rest of the used house, just the carpets? Most pre-owned home sold have carpet allowance to suck money from the seller and probably most don’t replace carpet and just steam clean it?
