I would like to replace a carpet in my bedroom using someone like Empire Carpet. What is an average cost?

I can't find anything online and I want to know before I have a guy come to my house and give me an estimate.

Also, what is an average of replacing your carpet with hardwood flooring?

I can afford to re-do my (12') kitchen island right now, and I'm not getting much attention from Lowe's or Home Depot; the designer hasn't called back. What are the other options? DIY is not practical, so I'm not going there.
Who else can help me design this island? Where else, besides other Big Boxes, can I go for design and product? I'm looking at upper-end stock cabinets to semi-custom.
Thanks for your time and help!

A co-worker is out on vacation for a couple weeks and he really needs his cubicle redecorated (maybe not too pretty, though). What are some great suggestions besides putting foil over everything?

It's been 4 days and my new bathroom floor tile is still not dry. It's still "quishy" when walked on. It's 8x8 tile in a 25 sq ft bathroom with a cement backerboard underneath. I thought it should have dryed by now, but now I'm starting to worry.

I painted my office yellow (kind of a daffodil color) with white trim. The floor is medium toned hardwood and the desk mostly matches the floor. I'm looking for a rug. I was leaning toward something natural (sisal maybe?) but now I think I want something soft and comfy since I'll spend 10 hours a day in the room. Any suggestions? Also - I plan on buying a nice comfy chair to go in the room too (in addition to the more practical desk chair). Should it match the rug or contrast? Help! I don't have a decorator's bone in my body!

And gloss or satin/matt finish?

This is a follow on from my previous question. I've decided on a black granite worktop and a fairly light (eg beech) wood floor. The room is large (6m x 5.2m) but only half of it will have units & island in. There are no children in the house, just naughty cats.

Everyone's being really helpful here - thanks so much again.
