Hi. I have 3 dogs (hairy ones), I work full-time and have a terrible time keeping the carpet in the living room clean since it is in the center of the house and a very high traffic area. Eventually I would like wood flooring, but that is not in the budget right now. So I am trying to convince my husband that we could paint the slab attractively to "get buy" for now and not have to look at the 9 year old yuck carpet. Any suggestions?
