An alternative to carpet would be wood-look laminate. You can install it yourself with some effort (once you get the hang of it, it goes very quickly). It may be similar in cost if you install it yourself. Probably a little more. ---

How big of an area are you trying to carpet? Remnants are cool and a great way to save $, but only if it is a small enough room, and the carpet doesn’t need to match the rest of the house. ---

you gonna do laminate floors your self? i did easy as long as you have skills with a saw(i used a sabre saw) cheap and easy check out Grossmans bargain outlet on walden I got mine for .98 sq ft decent quality and makes a huge difference. . As far as the outside goes, take a pic of the house from say across the street and Photoshop it with colors you might like-thats what i did. Or post the pics and i can give it a shot for ya. ---
