Guy Catalogs Hotel Carpets, Creates The Most Boring Instagram Account Ever

The greatest thing about the internet is that no matter how long you have been using it, it still has the ability to surprise you. Would you have ever thought that there’s a guy who takes pictures of hotel carpets and posts them on Instagram?

That’s the Internet for you. Bill Young is a corporate pilot based in Texas, and his job necessitates he stay in a lot of hotels. Back in 2015, during a routine layover, he noticed how odd the carpet design was. So he took a photo and uploaded it to his personal Instagram. Soon he began noticing other odd hotel carpet designs, and @MyHotelCarpet was born… and he even made a book full of hotel carpet photos!

Happy #funfanfriday fiber fans, I’ve skipped a few of these so it’s time to do this. This is where I feature #hotelcarpet that y’all slide into my DMs. (As I’m not traveling much yet. Stupid virus) Today’s FFF comes from @cassiecotter02 and she found it at the Holiday Inn Express in Carson City NV. Thanks Cassie! 😊. In this carpet I see multi color flames – as one sees when they set afire one of those chemical logs in the fire place. While the colors are cool, those things always smell like burning nuclear waste. Why can’t they make them smell like cooking brownies? 🤷🏻‍♂️ What do you see in the carpet? #ItsAfricahotinDallasrightnow #imabouttogoforawalkandhopeidontdie #thestreetsaremelting #imayneedthepoolandperhapsacoldbeerafter #ialsohaveahaircutlatertoday @were.all.alwright #makemelookgooditstheweekend #Loveallyall #thanksforfollowing Hotel Carpet book is out and doing great.

“When a pilot’s daughter tweeted saying that all she wanted for Christmas was for her dad’s Instagram account of hotel carpets to go viral, she didn’t expect it to happen overnight. Hundreds of thousands of people now share Bill’s love of the fascinating, wacky and sometimes ‘challenging’ designs of the hotel carpets he sees around the world.”

Hello carpet coollians, today is #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet y’all slide into my DMs. Today’s FFF comes from @meg_houle_ and she found it at the La Quinta in Dumas (pretty much my nickname) TX. Thanks Megan! This is an interesting design for sure – to me it looks like the front grill of my car after driving from Boulder #GoBuffs to Grand Junction, Colorado during a mayfly invasion. I’m probably way off however, I’d love to hear what YOU see in the design. *** Hotel Carpets book is shipping, link in Bio! #voguemagazineaustraliareviewedthebookyesterday @voguemagazine @vogueaustralia #NeverimaginedidbementionedinVogue #ImeanImwearingcargoshorts #andacowboysteeshirt #noCrocsthough #Ineedtodrawalinesomewhere #nothingagainstcrocs #theyjustdontmatchthecargoshorts #loveallyall #thanksforfollowing

Greetings Carpet Diem Compadres, today is #FunFanFriday where I – wait? It’s not Friday? I have no idea what day it is. Let’s pretend it’s Friday. ANYWAY, today’s FFF comes to us from @downtowntraffic and she found it at the @hotelbellagrace in Charleston. Thanks Jay! Stay Safe. To me it looks like what I see if somebody flashes a light in my face at night after I close my eyes. I dunno, what do you see? BOOK UPDATE! I have a new link in my bio to the actual publisher. It has a great look inside the book. If anybody is so inclined to obtain a copy of my Hotel Carpet book use the new link in my Bio. They Ship EVERYWHERE! Even to Canada! Please us them instead of Amazon If you can – it’s a small business and especially now could use the patronage. #whattodotoday #itsemptythegarbagedayanddealwiththerecycling #recyclinghasbeenkindaNOISYasoflate #dontjudgeme #IlltrynottoWINE #BlueAngelsflyingoverDallasonWed #cantwait #zoom✈️🛬#thanksforfollowing #loveallyall

Hello Carpetarians, happy Friday. Usually I do #funfanfriday , but I skipped last week – because I didn’t realize it was Friday #pandemicamnesia . I JUST FOUND OUT MY HOTEL CARPET BOOK IS AVAIL FOR PREORDER ON AMAZON. (Link in my bio – always tried to avoid using that in a post.) I’ve never really tried to partner or sell anything – but if anybody is interested in a fun artsy book with my hotel carpet pictures and smart ass remarks it’s available. 😁 This #hotelcarpet from the Long Beach Marriott (recently re-stayed there) is on the cover and my daughter @jillisyoung #carpetkid wrote the forward. How cool is that? Hope everybody is hanging in there. I know I have my ups and downs, I’m sure y’all do as well. Be safe and good to each other. #neverthoughtidbeapublishedauthor #my4thgradeteachersaidiwouldntbesuccessfulbecausemyhandwritingwassopoor #idontblameheritwasandstillisgarbage #butnowwehavekeyboards #sometimesmythoughtsarestillmessybutautocorrectandcomicsanscantfixthat #thanksforfollowing #loveallyall 😊

Hello fellow locked down lovers of #hotelcarpet today is #FunFanFriday where I feature carpet that y’all slide into my DMs. Frankly I almost forgot today was Friday – seems like Groundhog Day over and over. Since nobody is doing much traveling we’re doing #CovidQuarantineCarpet or carpet from wherever you are waiting all this out. Today’s lovely textile comes from @lilahanddoggo and is from her living room. Thanks Lilah! I’m a HUGE fan of all things #Kraken (even the rum) Thanks for all the submissions, keep em coming.

How’s everybody doing? I don’t have a #hotelcarpet because travel has “paused” (it will return) so today I have my #CoronaQuarantineCarpet . It’s in our living room. Quite nice choice by my wife @youngheidi I do think. If you have a good carpet where you are laying low DM me a pic and I’ll feature my fav on Friday. What is everybody doing to stay sane? Our daughter @jillisyoung #carpetkid made an art museum for her gecko including famous works. Even has a Vermeer – Gecko With a Pearl Earring. (Love the Dutch Masters) Check it out. @jillisyoung IG Hang in there and we’ll get through this. #GorgeousdayinDallastoday #Justgotbackfromawalk #practicedsocialdistancing #everythingisblooming #includingmyallergies #tryingnottocoughorsneeze #dontwanttogettheevileye #thanksforfollowing #loveallyall

Hello fellow fibrous fans, today is #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet that y’all slide into my DMs. Even with #lockdown2020 , folks are finding themselves staring at carpet in hotels – please keep them coming! Today’s FFF comes from @marshahardin1 and she came across this fine specimen at the StayBridge Suites in Plano TX. Thanks Marsha! There is lots going on with this design. Some may see basalt rock columns like one may see walking the #giantscauseway in Northern Ireland. Others may see a page from the Dungeons and Dragons Cartographers Handbook. I, however, I see a beehive where busy inhabitants work feverishly #butnotinacovidway to produce honey for their queen. (Interesting metaphor..)

Welcome to a #Lockdown edition of #FunFanFriday where I feature #hotelcarpet y’all slide into my DMs. Keep ‘em coming fiber fanatics! Today’s FFF comes from @eleanor_ascheman who found it at the StayBridge Suites in Lanham Maryland. Thanks Nora!! Okay, this one is obvious – it’s totally novel viruses trying to ruin our lives. I’d assume, and like to hear from the carpet designers, that any design that resembles Covid-ANYNUMBER is going to be off the table for a while. I dunno, maybe I have virus on the brain.

Greetings cool carpet chums, today is #FunFanFriday where I feature #hotel carpet that y’all slide into my DMs. Wash your hands first, please, because this is FFF quarantine edition. Today’s FFF was sent in by @kirstentheamazing and she found it at the Homewood Suites in Dania Point, FL. Thanks Kirsten! In this carpet I see the surface of a wing as we fly through the top part of a cloud. The bits and pieces of cloud and rain create the streaks.

Hello y’all. Today’s #hotelcarpet comes from the lovely @hotelpaseo in gorgeous Palm Desert, CA. We came out to see #carpetkid @jillisyoung and to watch the @bnpparibasopen (which was cancelled.) The Hotel was quirky and fun, great staff. I’d love to revisit during non-pandemic conditions, perhaps next year. What do I see in the carpet? It’s basically a metaphor for my beige calmness – which has developed some cracks with all the scary news. But you know what? The cracks are starting to heal and before you know it I’ll be back to my boring beige baseline. Keep the faith, be good people and help out when you can. This will soon be a story. I dunno, what do you see? #flyingbackhometoday #lookingforwardtobeingbackhome #gonnapetJacktheCatwhenigethome #carpetcat #loveyouall #thanksforfollowing

Hello carpet cuties coping with quarantine quagmires. It may be Friday the 13th, but it’s also #FunFanFriday where I feature #hotelcarpets that y’all slide into my DMs. Let’s deploy some hand sanitizer, wipe down the counter and do this. Today’s FFF comes from @lindseywetherbee and she found it at @hutchinsonshoresresort in Jensen Beach, FL. Thanks Lindsey for sending it in! This design speaks to me. Literally. I see a kind old man, perhaps Benjamin Franklin speaking from the grave – but not in a scary Exorcist kind of way, saying “don’t worry, this will all be over soon and turn into an interesting anecdote discussed at happy hour gatherings. Or it’s a scary clown telling us that we’re screwed. Don’t listen to clowns – ever.

Greetings from Long Beach. I was glad to find such a bright and festive – some may dare say exuberant #hotelcarpet here at the Long Beach Mariott. It’s joviality was welcome with all the fear and negativity flowing around lately. In this design I get either graphics from the opening title sequence from an episode of Saved By The Bell #lovedKellyKapowski @tiffanithiessen or a screen grab from @itspetergabriel Sledgehammer video. I’m a fan of both – what do you see? #funbeingbackinCali #iknowpeoplefromCaliforniahatecallingitCali #ilivedherefor14yearssoicancallitwhateveriwant #calicalicali #gottoseecarpetkidtoday @Jillisyoung #finishingupheractngandwritingdegreeinamonth #alreadyplayedademonpossessedwomenintwofilms #lookforheronthebigscreen #soproud #loveyall #thanksforfollowing #HOTELCARPETBOOKCOMINGOUTTHISSUMMER #detailstofollow #dontforgettiwashyourhands

Greetings carpet cohorts. Today is #funfanfriday where I feature fun fibers that found their way forward into my DMs. Keep ‘em coming! Today’s FFF comes from @shhaaann and she found it at the San Diego La Jolla Marriott. @marriottlajolla Thanks Shannon! This is an interesting design. I see kind of an eerie Blair Witch icon/symbol against a jungle canopy camo pattern. Is it a warning – perhaps a harbinger of happenings? Or maybe a dream catcher installed to ensure only amazing adventure dreams for the guests?

Hello carpet chums, today is #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet that y’all slide into my DMs. Thanks! Today’s FFF comes from @coracarlson__ and she found it at the Homewood Suites in The Woodlands (Houston). Thanks Cora!! What I see in this carpet is an aerial view of the Mississippi River #themightyMississip #Theoldmiss #theoldman #deepriver #namethatmovie on the west side of the river it’s arid and mostly dustbowl. The east side is irrigated, cultivated and produces bushels of yams. But that’s just me.

Konichiwa fabric fanatics, it’s #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet that y’all slide gracefully into my DMs. Today’s FFF comes from @monmoninjapan and she found it at the @noboribetsu_onsen hotel in Hokkaido. (Northern island of Japan where Sapporo is located.) Thanks Monica! This carpet is strong with the pink cherry blossom tinge – a warm nod to Sakura. And Valentinesday #bemyvalentine I see stacks of material with fallen leaves on top. I get a calming vibe from the carpet.

Hello rooters for rugs! Today is #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet that y’all slide into my DMs. Thanks and keep ‘em coming. Today’s FFF comes from fellow aircrew member @raysig and she found it at the Aloft Jacksonville Airport hotel. Thanks Rachel! Fly safe out there. This carpet totally gives me The Six Million Dollar Man vibes. It looks like the title sequence of the show where Steve Austin #amanbarelyalive is being monitored while he runs on the treadmill. #betterstrongerfaster When I was a kid I wanted to be bionic and work for Oscar Goldman at OSI.

Hello terrific textile tangerines, today is #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet slid into my DMs by y’all. Today’s FFF comes from @bravecomet and he found it at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison, WI. Thanks for sending it in Jeremy! Whilst I think the intention of the design is gingko leaves falling on a red surface, due to current events all I can see are coronavirus bacteriophages swarming an otherwise healthy body attempting to reproduce en mass.

Hello all you carpet cohorts, today is #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet dropped into my DMs by y’all. Today’s FFF is from the fancy Omni Houston Westside @omnihoustonwestside and was sent in by @mmont87 . Thanks Matt! Keep the carpets coming! This awesomely angular design is indeed a work of art. Back when I was a young Billy in middle school I may have attempted to create art like this on my Peechy Folder cover with a pen and my plastic ruler. (The ruler was a little beat up because I would spin it on top of my pencil on its center hole like a helicopter.) My creation, however, never reached the level of triangle mastery as this carpet. I see some Illuminate symbology at play here.

Viva Las Vegas! Today’s #hotelcarpet flies in from Sin City #worktrip and the glorious New York New York Resort/Casino. I’m not actually staying there, but I was craving a hot dog and they have Nathan’s so I walked over. #Imasimpleman Post hot dog consumption I ended up winning $100 playing blackjack so BOOM. #winwin Vegas casinos have awesome carpet and @nynyvegas didn’t disappoint.

Greetings Baron Von Carpetarians – Today is #FunFanFriday where I feature #hotelcarpet that y’all slid into my DMs. Today’s FFF comes from @racheltheredhead and was found in the Pasea Hotel and Spa in Huntington Beach. Actually right about now I think I could use some hotel and spa in Huntington Beach. Thanks for the pic Rachael! In this design I see a mountain pond’s surface recently disturbed by a young child throwing a flat stone. He or she was trying to skip the stone, but they haven’t quite mastered the skipping technique yet. #kerplunk #practicemakesperfect I dunno, what do you see? #Imactuallyastoneskippingninja #mynicknamecouldbedoubledigitskip #actuallythatprobwouldntbeagoodnickname #loveskippingrocksthough #ioftenraterocksontheirwaterskippingpotential #WSP #loveallyall #thanksforfollowing

Greetings from Austin, TX. We’re here to see #carpetkid @jillisyoung and have her show us some insider Austin gems. The lights at Mozart’s were spectacular. @mozartscoffee This #hotelcarpet is from the Westin Downtown. Great location, the staff has been amazing, and love the property. This monochromatic carpet may look simple, but I think it hides hidden meanings. I see either the graphic of the digital audio waveform representation of The Eyes of Texas are Upon Us or a message to Aliens telling them the best place to come for live music and craft cocktails is Austin, TX.

Hello carpet aficionados, today is #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet slid into my DMs from y’all. Keep ‘em coming. Today’s FFF was sent in from @_eve18_ and features a design from the Milwaukee Hilton. Thanks Eve! (As we learned from Wayne’s World, “Milwaukee” comes from the Algonquin word millioke meaning “the good land.”) In this pattern I see a Christmas tree decoration laying on the street, perhaps it fell off while discarding the tree during bulk trash pickup the 3rd Tuesday of every month.

Happy Holidays carpet curmudgeons! Today is Black Friday, but it is also #funfanfriday where I feature #hotelcarpet slid in to my DM’s from y’all. Before I get to today’s FFF, I want to recognize that today is the 2 year anniversary from when my Daughter #carpetkid @JillisYoung sent out the tweet that somehow made my hotel carpet IG hobby blow up. So I wanted to take a second to thank and recognize Jill and ALL THE OTHERS who made this thing go viral. I’ve had a lot of fun with it and have tried to keep it pure and fun. Ok, today’s FFF carpet comes from @Doro_Moro and the Marriott Marquis in San Diego. Love me some San Diego – got married there on a boat a long time ago. @hornblower_sd This carpet, whilst heavy on the mustard yellow, has an interesting spreading pattern. It reminds me of the music coming out of a large speaker, perhaps the beginning of the Dire Straights guitar solo in Money for Nothing. Love that solo.

Today’s #hotelcarpet comes from my current residence, the Overlook Hotel. I’ve taken the job of winter caretaker for the season, as it gets completely snowed in for weeks. I’ve only been here a short time, but have had some strange experiences already. My plan was to finish my novel, but so far all work and no play makes Bill a dull boy. I keep thinking that I see a young child riding a Big Wheel around the corridors going on about some kind of Red Room. I hate the way he talks with his finger. I think he’s showing off for the twin girls who keep appearing uninvited – especially near the old elevators that seem to be leaking copious amounts of red hydraulic fluid. I guess it’s time to get off Instagram and go back to work. I’m thinking of grabbing an axe and taking the snow cat out for a spin. Wish me luck. #mywifekeepsgettinglockedinsidethebathroom #IthinkIcanhelpunlockthedoorwiththisaxe #Heididoesntlikeitheremuch #Iwishwecouldstayhereforeverandeverandever #Imthinkingofmovingintoroom237 #itsoundslikethereisacoolpartygoingonintheballroom #someplacesarelikepeoplesomeshineandsomedont #thatsallfornowImgoingtogogetlostinthehedgelabrinthoutsideagain #happyhalloween #loveallyall #thanksforfollowing #ImnotreallyJackTorrance

Greetings Carpet Chums! it’s Fun Fan Friday where I feature #hotelcarpet that slides (rolls would be more appropriate for carpet) into my DMs. Today’s FFF come from @felicitysw6 and the carpet lays all the way in Kuwait at the Symphony Style Raddison. I’ve never been to Kuwait, gotta check it out. Thanks Felicity! This somewhat psychedelic carpet kind of reminds me of what I see if I close my eyes too hard. Some of the yellow figures resemble Kanji characters but I really only know the symbols for “exit” (looks like “racecar van”) Can you find the yellow man and the tiny lightning bolt?

Olá carpet fans. Today’s #hotelcarpet comes from the @sheratonlisboa where I had the pleasure of staying on a recent trip. #bestviewofthecity . #lisbon This dream catcher inspired carpet is in the lobby. I found the design cool, while I’m not heavily invested into the Dream Catcher zeitgeist, I appreciate the idea. Who wouldn’t want to be protected from bad dreams? Would dream catcher carpet protect all hotel guests from such? I tend to have some crazy dreams so I’m not sure it was effective in my case. What dreams would you want to be protected from? #hadadreamiwasbackincollegelastnight #hadatestandihadntstudiedandforgotmypants #iusuallyremembermypantssonotsurewherethatcamefrom #iwouldntmindgoingbacktocollegedays #Idtrytostudyandrememberpantsoratleastshorts #thanksforfollowing #loveallyall

Greetings Von Carpeteers. It’s already #funfanfriday where I feature carpets slid into my DMs. Today’s #hotelcarpet was sent in by @dreamfounder from the Holiday Inn Express in Stony Brook NY. (Long GUYland). Thanks Sara! To me it looks like the message etched on the gold plates onboard the deep space probe for the aliens to read. The message would be along the lines of “Hello from Earth. We are a bold people, but full of whimsy. Please don’t abduct us and send us to Uranus’ second moon to mine salt… or eat us. Please don’t do either. I could be way off though.
