I know many will disagree with me on this but my first house had carpet in both. If you cook at all, you know that it's far easier to sweep and mop a floor than it is to a) drag out the vacuum cleaner every day or b) have to clean the carpet once a week. And carpeted bathrooms? If you have boys you understand the problem. You guys don't always aim that well. Y'know?
