I got up and read my classes early today because we are going into the Cities (That’s Minneapolis/St. Paul if you are not from Minnesota) to look at light fixtures and hardwood flooring. We are just in the planning stages now. Our main goal is to get an approximation of cost so that we can figure out how we are going to pay for what we want to do. We did some minor redecorating (replaced the couch and a chair) and now we want to put hardwood through the living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway. If we can afford it, I would like to do our bedroom, too, even though we just replaced the carpet in there a couple of years ago.
I have always loved hardwood, but when we built our house carpet was the big thing. We have talked off and on over the years about adding hardwood to certain rooms because we have antiques and it would complete the look. Lately, I have been watching HGTV quite a bit because you don’t have to pay attention to it so it works well while I am working on my classes. There’s also not much on the other channels that really appeals to me anymore, so I often have the Food Network or HGTV on. Anyway, all the home renovations on HGTV seem to include installing hardwood floors and it seems to be something that all young home buyers want now, so we have decided to make serious plans to add it to our home.
I am thinking that I want a wider plank and that it is going to need to be fairly light since we have dark woodwork, but I am hoping that I can find something with a bit of darker grain in it. We shall see.
Here’s the new couch and chair. Don’t you think they would look great sitting on a hardwood floor?

nice
Oh yes hardwood. Son ripped out carpet in his house and laid laminate as he couldn’t afford wood. He learned Prego isn’t that easy to install.
I’m stuck with our vinyl squares, we have no where to move furniture for a redo and it would have to be living room, dinning, kitchen and hall as they are all connected. We’d have to pay to have it done.
