Carpet dilemma

Mark and I have been having a battle of wills over the carpet on the steps and upstairs hall. I want to rip it out, well, yesterday. Mark firmly believes in carpet on the stairs for safety reasons. The carpet is dark green with a leaf pattern in slightly lighter green. Now, green is my absolute favorite color. But green carpet? With a yellow Lab? Oh, and there's something about this carpet that makes the dog hair stick like glue. I've tried everything, rubbing it down with a dryer sheet, (the carpet, not the Lab) vacuuming in concentric patterns, Arm and Hammer pet hair remover. Everything. 
 So I'm picturing a runner on the steps. Possibly with an Arts and Crafts paisley or floral pattern. Harvest colors, of course.
  Our summer project however will be battling the weeds that have taken over the flower beds. We kind of wanted to wait until we knew exactly what was in the flower beds, but the neighbors have remarked a couple of times about all the weeding we need to do. Ugh.
