So the carpet went in on Friday and it became obvious that the height of the backerboard combined with our bathroom tile is taller than the carpet edge. This means that we need to find some way of putting in a transition otherwise we're worried the tile edge will chip or become a toe-stubber over the years as the carpet wears, or at the very least, be a crud-catcher.

Floor guy and GC were here today and talking about getting samples of some rubber piece to use for the transition. I will try my best to reserve judgement until I see the samples, but plastic-y rubber between my carpet and tile seems like it would be uber tacky and cheap looking!

We can't be the first to have this problem, so I'm hoping there's better options out there than plastic. The we've got white tile and beige carpet that are meeting up. I'm hoping for some miracle suggestions...
