As long as the "carpet" matches the "drapes", it's cool!

what the hell is a shag carpet???
Shag is a no-no.
While it looks good - if you like the 70's look - after the first 6 months, it fuzzies and piles and tears up and you track it every. Which won't matter one way or the other, you can always convince your guests that the threads they find on their clothes is just your nylon dog shedding.
They also hold odors tighter than Fort Knox. You will never get rid of any odor from things you drop or spill. Keep that in mind when - or if - you land some chic that lubricates herself with the consistency of Niagra Falls. If that happens, you best just bring in your mower and remove that spot on the carpet.
Now where are my answers wodin.

Shagadelic, baby...yeah
my first college apartment had that shiot in it....a leftover from the last time the place was tastelessly redecorated, cira 1976 or so....orange in the living room and lime green in the bedrooms. the color choices made me wanna hurl when i was hungover.
there was actually a "shag carpeting rake" in the closet to be used to lift up the carpeting pile after vaccuming.....like that got done a lot with 3 20-something guys in there!

LOL, don't laugh too hard. When I was a kid, our house had this brown and gold long shag all over the house. We had to buy a rake just to bring it back up, even after a vacuuming.
bearbroly, don't buy the shag!! If you like it, then at least redo the whole floor with wood, then MAYBE get a shag rug to put over the wood. Other than that, I wouldn't fool with it.
I have hardwood floors in the dining room and foyer. I was thinking of running that in the kitchen (2 separate colors) and back hallway. Want to tile the baths and the stand up shower. Was thinking the "Cut Pile" (thanks Y) in the bedrooms, and wasn't sure what to do in the Hot Tub room or the living room or the office.

We went with all the bedrooms in Stainmaster Twisted pile.
It feels like Shag but the ends of the yarns are not cut straight off but are kinda twisted. The puppy has had a couple of accidents on them and it simply puddled on top of the carpet until we noticed it and soaked it up. Nothing absorbed in.
Yet it is still soft and squishy when you are on it..
The rest of the house is TILE with a huge persian style room rug
in family room. It looks nice

bearbroly, that's the way to go with shag. Either tile or hard wood floors, then an area rug.
BTW Y, nice rooms!

Nice Y! That is exactly what my wife wants to do with our great room as far as some of the furniture being off the wall. Our great room is 24 X 24 so we have the room, just not sure how it will look and feel.
I should snap some pics of our place and get some recommendations. Our friends owned it and put up some "busy" wall paper in the kitchen, dining room, and bedroom...all of it needs to come down.

Here is a pic of my floor (with that crooked ass post the contractor did)
This is the black tile I have throughout the house.
Here is one where you can (barely) see the carpet in the master bedroom.
Here are two more of the master bedroom. I actually designed and built that wall myself. The idea was to give the eyes something else besides carpet to look at. (HA!)
The pics I have of the theater room don't show carpet. (sorry)
I have hard wood floors in the first rental rental property I purchased... I will have to dig up a pic of it if you want. But it is the exact opposite of my house... dark colors....

Actually the wall fairly easy to create... I took particle board 1" in diameter and built the triangles all the same size, next it was simply centering them in the middle of room and working around it... compensating for door and window spaces. The pic isn't really that good because the flash from the camera washes everything out. I use wall mounted lights to cast an illumination around the room, the wall gives it plenty of depth to cast shadows and become very unusual to look around.
P.S. that "gay" comforter set cost more than my car. I had to perform to the best of my capabilities to earn that. Twice.
