carpet vs. wood floor in your sewing room
#65
My husband and son are allergic to the entire world. When we moved into this house there was carpeting in all ten rooms. Only the downstairs bathroom had linoleum. We are down to two carpeted rooms left to do and I absolutely love the wooden floor in my sewing room. Pins can get stuck in carpeting and they are hard to find. You can also step on them if you are barefoot like I often am. The wooden floors in my house were all covered with ugly old carpeting and I was happy to see it go.

Had carpet when we moved in.......yuck! The entire house is now laminate including kitchen & baths. Hubby is a Master Endorsed Pergo installer :-). Area rugs in some spots...and I dust it with a 4' wide janitor's mop.

Two years ago I pulled up all the carpet in my house and put down laminate wood. Love it. ( Easier to clean up cat hairs.) I keep a dust broom in my sewing room and when finished sewing for the day, I just run the dust broom over the area and get rid of all the strings, threads, small pieces etc and the room is neat and clean for the next day of sewing. And as for the cold feet in winter....I wear sox.
