I was trying to describe our kitchen carpet to one of my Yahoo groups, and it seems easier just to post a photo of the lovely stuff. I included my foot so you can get an idea of the size of the print (and definitely NOT to show off my old pedicure). Yep, this carpet not only covers our entire kitchen floor (and it's a BIG kitchen!) but is also under the living room and hall carpeting as well. The best part: it hides the dirt beautifully. The bad parts: 1) it's ugly, 2) it hides everything so if something is dropped, it's rarely found until it's stepped upon (not a good thing with stray blueberries!), and 3) it's GLUED down onto the wooden floor beneath. Yep, somewhere under all this ugliness is a wooden floor -- my favorite kind! I personally would like to hang the person who decided to glue down this, um, INTERESTING carpeting by their toenails. Or even worse, make them live with it once again....

When we moved into this house, it had the ugliest GREEN and YELLOW carpet in the kitchen you could possibly imagine. It was also glued to the floor, but it was just a plywood sub-floor so not great loss. Ripping it up and replacing it was one the very first things we did remodeling wise. I want to know who thought carpet in the kitchen was a good idea in the first place! It absorbs everything, never feels clean, and can't be disinfected easily.
That is really weird carpet. So, are you planning to scrape it up and restore the wood floors? It would be a lot of work, but worth it!
