not if it were the right kinda dog (one of those white one seen in the snow)

That would be an exception but I wouldn't have one in my bed, and it's ass would be outside when able asap.

None of ours have, so far (we have beagles and walker my excellent compatriot hounds). Of course, we do put plenty of straw in their dog boxes for warmth, and if it gets REALLY cold out, we sometimes turn on a heat lamp.

No, I hate hardwoods. They look nice, but aren't practical. They are cold in the winter and scratch easily, especially with a large dog.

ok well a lot of people don't have large dogs
they definitely are practical (ie:easier to clean / less dust / fleas)

Hardwood + big, plush area rugs

If you ask me, carpet holds dust and allergens.

That is a FACT.

Carpet is for women and girly men.

Hardwood floors + stone tile = residential bliss

My latest....(still in progress)...

Took just over a week and a day to finish from demolition to moving back into room (about 300 sq feet).

Ignore the messy house...all part of the process!

This is the 12th floor that I've done in my house with 7 being hardwood, 3 being tile, one being carpet (I only did partial install, had pro finish) and one vinyl stick on ( ) for the laundry room.

Yes. I used 1,200 nails with a floor nailer (non pneumatic ), one pound of 6d finish nails, 3/4 pounds of #6 - 1.5 inch wood screws and lots of work.

Nah, use your zoom. I have automatic resize turned on so I don't notice!

Bamboo is the ultimate flooring material, IMHO ...

Looks nice.

Very hard/tough, but still provides some "cushioning".

Excellent insulative properties.

Renewable resource, and grows very fast.

Only downside is that it is not cheap, but then you get what you pay for.

Hardwood is easier to clean. Linoleum is even easier. Therefore, by the only standard that matters to me, linoleum wins.

Hardwood sucks in the winter when you're too tired to throw on socks before stumbling over to the coffee maker in the morning :frown:

No...your heating system sucks. If you had radiant heating your hardwood floor would be nice and toasty in the winter.

Say what? Have you ever lived in a non-carpet home? Almost no decent home these days has carpet as the primary floor covering. I haven't seen any at least.

I hate my hardwood floor. It shows footprints all the time, and I have to sweep the damn thing every day.

I love having cold hardwood floors. It makes my life much better.

Makes clean up so much easier.

Plus it looks, feels and sounds better.

 

[judasmachine]

I go both ways.

Hardwood is great, tile is alright, and carpet just feels like home.

 

[sonambulo]

Hardwood + Ondol = Tha Illest

I love the feeling of carpet (or at least a nice rug) in the bedroom though.

 

[SearchMaster]

I love the look of hardwood but my three boys would each have about 75 concussions if we didn't have carpet.

It was hot last night, so she slept on our bed near the air conditioner.

Hardwood, marble and tile. I hate wall to wall carpet. Rugs are good though.
