When I bought a house in TV, I found myself put off by all the houses with tile floors—I came nowhere near choosing any of them—and I chose a house with nice wall-to-wall carpet (except in the bathrooms and kitchen, of course). Not everyone agrees with me, but some would. I would say that if you can’t stand your carpet anymore and want to replace it, use tile if you like, but I would suggest the kind that is light grey and looks like three foot long planks of barn wood. It’s less likely to show the dust. I put 800 square feet of dark grey Italian porcelain tile in one house I built, along with light grey industrial carpet in the rest of the house, and I always loved it. (Industrial carpet was sturdy, didn’t trip people, and was only about $5 a yard. It had a very clean look, as it was low pile.), My wife and I shopped for new rugs today for our Lantana. We need area rugs for the dining room area, entry, dinette and lanai. We went to the Marion, We are new to the Villages and now that we are unpacked, we would like to find some Florida themed pictures for our house. Also, we would like to put.
