Personally I love my carpet. After my beloved dog Bart passed away, I replaced the carpet with a deep pile carpet. It feels great to walk barefoot around the house.

Tile is a BIG upgrade here in Florida.....carpet can get really worn really fast with the humidity and sand. Tile is so easy to keep clean, and you can always throw down a room size carpet.
