hi,
we had a large cream carpet (appx. 10 ft by 9 ft) custom made for our living room when my #1 started crawling 2 and a half years ago and Tai Ping carpets quoted me in the region of $25k, as you said alot of money for something that your kids are going to trash in no time! (esp when they start potty training) I eventually had a cream NZ wool rug (same dimensions) custom made from GOD in Causeway Bay for about HK$4.5k, while the quality is not as superior as the Tai Ping carpet one, it does the trick for us! Hoep that helps!
