We’ve seen plenty of carpet in bathrooms here, sadly. Ugly and stupid, but as long as there are no restrictions on what can replace it, that was not a deterrent for us (some condo buildings have restrictions on replacing ANY carpets with hard surfaces, we found out - to mitigate potential noise issues for the neighbors).
We rescued our current house from being torn down. A developer would have squeezed at least two homes onto the lot. We are happy with just one. 
We invested ungodly amounts in making this place ours; I documented some of these projects elsewhere in the forum. My first project was repainting of the master bedroom… the dark grey was just not my thing! We have plenty of grey to stare at here in the winter… so that paint had to go.
