Coz she was raised in a house that has carpet upstairs and because UK is so cold. No one told her that the Scandinavia states, Eastern Europe or even Germany and Netherlands are colder. Her private school’s syllabus is obviously different from ours.If I remember correctly, wasn’t her reason for having that grey carpet that she admitted she didn’t like because “that’s just what you do” or somethingPlease someone tell me I’m not going mad!!
Also she said her she doesn’t want hard-wooden floors in her house because her sister has them and they get suuuper dusty, which is why she opted for carpet. Nobody told Lily carpet gets equally dusty but it’s just less visible.
To be fair, this was always my parents’ reasoning for carpet even though I begged and pleaded for hardwood because all the cool kids had hardwood (wtf my priorities were SO misplaced). You definitely don’t notice dust as much with carpet. But it has it’s own issues. However, you don’t just replace perfectly good carpet with more carpet because you dislike your original color choice! It’s not even the feeling or the softness or the weave...it’s the farting color! How ridiculously shallow.
Totally agree. She’s just used to being pandered to, told how clever (or ‘creative’) she is and used to getting a lot for doing very little. She appears to have few internal resources to dealing with anything remotely (normal) challenging. She fell into an industry that accommodates all this via sheer luck and now it’s moving on she literally can’t be bothered to do so as it would involve stretching herself in some way. Can’t see that happening.
What I found hilarious, she always points out how she 'cannot find the right accounts to tag as its SO difficult ' however no trouble here...when she's trying to get a freebie....
Our developer put in a beige one in our flat, actually no one really cares about the carpet. I think quality > colour in any case. 60-70% of your floor space are covered by furniture, idk why she is so fixated.
We haven't replaced the carpet in our house since moving in a couple of years ago and downstairs is grey, upstairs is a mixture of grey, beige/sand type colour and a random blue room. My personal view is that I prefer the beige, it seems more of a true neutral and more of our furniture seems to go with it, the grey can feel a bit cold. But that's just my personal opinion, I don't actually know what I'll choose when we do eventually replace it!
I’m not a Lily and totally wouldn’t replace it unless we have to - it’s in pretty grim condition and want to change it before we have a baby. I think I’ve been following her too long that I’ve become indecisive about it hahah.
Oh no totally, I want to replace ours at some point too (some is from the 70's, some the 90's and some the 2000's) - I was just giving my opinion on the colours!
HAHA, I think for carpet, you either get beige or light grey (risk looking like Hinch fanatic). I will go for beige though, is more versatile.
