The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

Nope opinions welcome, I don't want to pay out for something people don't want to see!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the baby show.

Have to see what the others say!

The Italian dream sounds brilliant. We have a Spanish one; I think it is good to have a dream like that, esp if you can make it come through!

I prefer carpet in the bedroom. I agree with Wendz, I think it makes the room warmer. However, I think wooden floors show up better in photos and give the place a more modern, fresh feel about the place. It's amazing what a furry rug can do too - can give the best of both worlds. So in answer to your question - if I was doing it up to keep for myself I would put carpets down, if I was doing it up to sell I would put wooden floors down. Hope it makes sense!

Wendz - the babyshow is excellent isn't it? We got our pram there and we saved about £120 on it so were thrilled. It is hard to resist all the gimmicky things there too. I am a sucker for anything cute I also got my tens machine there.

I agree with CMD atually it would look nice when people are looking to buy the house.

Yes it was really good. Saved a lot of money so was worth going!

I have to agree, I would like carpet but to sell I would go for wood with a lovely rug - guess it depends on the quality of the carpets and how they look etc...?

Dinah93

They look like what they are - very average carpet! Also the master bedroom one has managed to get a bit mucky. I hadn't thought of rugs on the wood, good plan

If that is the case sounds like the wooden flooring might look nicer and the rugs will make it feel warmer.

I prefer carpets too. But, to go with the theory of wood floor for selling there is a house around the corner I love. And I mainly love it because it has hardwood flooring, and if I sit here now and picture it with carpets I kind of love it less. Odd! I don't like these mind games

I like the sound of your house dreams! But I know I could never do that. Me and Rich got sick of doing this place up, and all it needed was a scrub, lick of paint and some carpets. We're pretty light weight, Dulux and Ikea type of DIY-ers Glad everything is coming together at home for you though, hopefully it wont be long until it's all done and ready to sell!

Does the one you love have wood throughout or just lounge/kitchen?

I think it confuses the matter that bedrooms are downstairs, maybe we should keep them as carpet to make sure people don't think '3 reception rooms to 2 bedrooms is a bit odd'!

I reckon you should keep them carpet too. Our bedroom has sanded and varnished floorboards but I'd love something warmer underfoot. You could always hire a carpet cleaner, they're so good.
