Yeah it's not unfair, but I agree with /u/Bucksandreds. I have a pretty plush area rug in another part of the house, but it's nowhere near as soft and comfortable as the carpet. I think carpet can be very nice if it's done in select, practical locations, and you don't skimp or go cheap on it.

Yeah, 99/100 times, hardwood looks better. But quality carpeting both looks good and feels good too, so I think people tend to think of old, cheap carpeting. In this case, it just made more sense to do it so we can get more practical use out of it. If you have a good looking room but you never use it because it’s not practical, what’s the point? I’d rather a room where I feel like we can actually use it. We use it every day now, but I doubt we’d ever use it though if it wasn’t carpeted.

Exactly, and also nowhere near level. Whoever installed the old tile made up for it with way too much thinset in some places and almost none in others.

Hah yeah we did when we moved in. Totally fine, the previous owners tried to start a fire but forgot to open the flue. They put it out before any damage was done though.

Thanks! Never done crown moulding before and frankly I was at a loss on what style to do until I realized I could try to match what was in the kitchen.

Funny since this article seems to say he's been pretty good in the Congressional Baseball Game:
>Rep. Tom Malinowski, one of Democrats' most valuable current players, is in a very competitive race for reelection. In the past two games, the New Jersey congressman is batting .600 with a double, an RBI, six stolen bases and two runs scored.
Same for this one too, from FiveThirtyEight:
>Sophomore Rep. Tom Malinowski has also been a valuable table-setter for Democrats: He’s gotten on base in five of his seven career plate appearances, and he’s legged out six stolen bases.

Different room. We have a den that has the main TV. When we moved in, the previous owners (who had 7 kids) had TVs set up everywhere, in almost every room. Just seemed excessive to me.
