Oh my... in some ways it sounds fun to make all those decisions again and in other ways I would give almost anything to NOT have to. :) Yes, 3/4" prefinished hardwood. We watched for a good sale and then David installed it himself. The little cat furballs and dust bunnies definitely show up more than on carpet, but after sweeping, it's definitely cleaner than carpet. We keep one of those wood markers around for scratches, but I don't get too crazy about keeping them all colored in. I figure it's all part of the character of a lived-in house. :) <br /><br />There is for sure one thing I would do differently next time... David said there is some way to install the trim along the floor so that you don't have to put down quarter round moulding. Our quarter round is painted white like the trim which is what I wanted, but it gets pretty banged up with the sweeper and stuff.<br /><br />And hardwood means rugs so... !!! :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753601457427774123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797802572993052241.post-88939319799007031182013-04-01T21:54:53.907-04:002013-04-01T21:54:53.907-04:00Hey Katie!!

I had to look back through your blog to find this post :) We are in the process of building again and ugh.. all the decisions that come along with that. I am really liking the idea of no carpet downstairs. Can you tell me any more about your floors? Real hardwood? Still liking it? High maintance? Would love any info you have :)the rinehart'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15512773694852919779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797802572993052241.post-12434957195098390992012-10-03T09:06:29.215-04:002012-10-03T09:06:29.215-04:00Thanks Katie!

I'm just...Oh my gosh, Katie, you are so funny! I'm just sitting here chuckling. I DID notice that the curtain rods were lower because I'm crazy that way. I'll heed your advice next time I hem Ikea curtains. Who knew? I'll also be heeding your advice next time I want to saw some antlers off akull. Hee.<br /><br />Thanks for your honesty, though. You're right that gratification in the form of doing things yourself is rarely instant. And right too that life is not about completing projects and achieving goals. Happy New Year to you too! :)<br /><br />Thanks forThe Vintique Objecthttp://thevintiqueobject.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
