Very nice looking and well organized.
Small minus for carpet floor.
Anyway... I'm very jealous.
Thanks.
The basement is still unfinished. The carpet was a clearance piece that was available at the carpet store for cheap. I bought it for the kids because I setup a large play area for them in the basement, and playing on a cold concrete floor isn't very fun.
The "hatered" of mine towards carpet floors is 2 fold:
1: I used to be very allergic but my doctor mother pretty much cured me with exposing me to my worst allergenes (yet traumas of long shag carpet remain).
I was
very allegic towards dogs and cats, so what she does?
Buys 3 dogs and 4 cats to keep inside.
My room is upstairs and somewhat isolated from the downstairs where the animals were, so I could get to "safety".
She also bought strong astma pipes.
Little by little I spend more and more time with the animals and within 2 months I could tolerate them quite well and 6 months later all was as cured as it will ever be.
Nowadays all is fine as long as the animals don't sleep on my pillow for long (I don't let them in to my room but occasionally they sneak in).
This has also cured my other allergies (Horses and pollem of hay, few other grasses & pirch).
2: I'm LAZY and could never bother to keep the carpet clean.
The kind that snaps together and is water proof.
Many of those aren't waterproof but actually warp easily if you clean them with more than damp cloth.
Every year I keep saying I'm going to finish the basement, and each year something else comes up. This year, my in-laws bought a new place that needs a lot of work, and I will be over there most weekends fixing stuff, so my basement is off until next year at the earliest.
I know the feeling.
My gameroom, bedroom extension and/or new house are still on the to do list...

You have never dropped a UGC on hardwood.
I would gladly have carpet to try to protect cases and games from accidental drop damage.
Funny you mention that. While moving everything around, I did end up dropping one game. It was a PS1 game and while the cover popped off, nothing broke including the hinges. I couldn't believe it. I don't even have a pad under the carpet.
Actually I haven't, or haven't dropped from high enough for damage.
But I give the carpets that protection point.
Arseen, if it makes you feel any better, in the upper part of my house, there is no carpet at all. The house is 100% hardwood except for the two bathrooms which both have tile floors.
Our house is old school with hardwood floors as well but they are in quite serious need of sanding after us 10 kids + 6 of next generation driving with tractors and such.
PRO TIP: If you start getting splinters from the floor Elmer clue or such is good first aid.
Our bathrooms also have tiled floors and walls, as does kitchen.
