Question:

What to do with my carpet?

My room is pretty small, it's rectangular shaped. My carpet is..disgusting. It's like ugly green color and its stained and I need some ideas on what to do. My mom and I have no money and I need a rather cheap, easy , solution. Any idea?

Answer:

I had this problem when I was living at home. I had a ugly dark green carpet. Very little money as well. Here is what I did I went to good will and the salvation army as well as discount stores. I bought a lot of bath room carpets. You know the little ones for the tub and sink. I sewed them together and did a patch work on my carpet. The whole thing took about 1 month to find them all ,but it was done under 40.00. I even asked people around the neighbor hood for their old carpets if they had any. My colors was light blue,pink,purple and beige.
Here are several ideas Rent a carpet cleaner and clean the carpet. Put a small bright colored rug in the main area of the floor. People will look at the rug and not the wall to wall carpet Measure the room, go to a carpet store and get a left over carpet piece. Install it yourself or have a friend put it down.
Why not take it up and pitch it in the trash! Surely the wood floor beneath is less unsightly and may give you more options later on when you have a little cash to spend...
