Decisions...

I honestly think I like the lightest one best. The kitchen is a rather dismal place because of the overkill of wood-grain, and the lightest one will (in my opinion) make the room look larger and more inviting.

Word to the wise: carpeted kitchens are a no-no. Very nasty, very unhygienic. Ripping that crap up will be disgusting, but satisfying.

Our owner is an elderly man who obviously grew up during the Depression. He told me to try to get the carpet up in one piece because he'd like to save it.

Okey-dokey. What anyone would want to DO with it is *none* of my business, as long as I don't have to step on it anymore.
