Planning on the hardwood floors, but can't afford it yet! :)

The ripping it up and painting the subfloor is definately something I am going to look into.

Thanks everyone! :)

I definately do NOT want to decorate TO the rug. That thing is coming up eventually. Whatever I decorate now, I would like it to look just as nice on a hardwood floor down the road.

There is no hidden pretty hardwood floor underneath. I asked what was under there and got the sub-flooring answer. The house was previously owned by an elderly lady that apparently either really liked blue shag, or she got her carpet on clearance when the awful stuff didn't sell.

More info...

I definately want to paint, not sure about the color.

There is subflooring under the blue carpet, according to the realtor, not sure what kind. The awful stuff is in the living room and in the short hallway. The bedrooms also have carpet that I would like to replace, but it's a boring beige that I can live with relatively painlessly for a while. The kitchen has some not so pretty vinyl, but it's in good enough shape that it doesn't really bother me.

It's just the hideous blue carpet that I want to deal with ASAP. (And the mint green walls in my bedroom, but paint is an easy fix there!)

Thanks!
