Black Carpets

30 years ago, the curmudgeon and his sainted wife painted our tv room a dark green, and bought a matching green oriental carpet.  A beautiful room - we decorated it with artwork we bought in England, and I decorated with a huge tv and stereo that can't be beat.


But, it's 2011, and the trendy colors of the 80's have changed.  So we found a brown leather color that is beautiful.  That required a new rug.  Green - gone - brown in.  We found one (the green one was $600, this one $2,000), but as part of the perfect color match, it has a lot of black in it.


Pause.  We have two cats.  I eat cheetos, potato chips, and all manner of junk food watching tv.


A black carpet.


A maintenance nightmare.  Go for beige.
