Maybe We Should Rip Out the Oaks in our Backyard and Plant Bamboo.

The previous owners of this house had five boys. Five boys that completely ruined the flooring in the house as best they could. Needlesstosay, it's the first thing on our list of things to do after buying this house. It probably will be our spring project next year. In the meantime, I've been thinking...

(snickers)

Of course this is driving my poor husband batty because (as those of you that know me well know) I am not the most decisive person in the world. And I'm a little particular. I'm really not materialistic, truly I'm not. I'm just picky. I don't like to buy cheap things "for now" and have to replace them in a few years because they are so broken down. If we are going to buy something such as furniture, appliances, or flooring...it's going to be what we want because we are going to have to live with it for a long, long, long, long time. :)

I've completely fallen in love with bamboo flooring and we know this is what we want in our living room and down the hall. I'm not sure about the kitchen yet, but we will probably have that done as well. We'll see what it looks like against our cabinets...

I love it. Not only is it one of the most environmentally products you can use for flooring, it's relatively inexpensive compared to the alternatives AND it's crazy durable. We have two cats and a dog and are in the process of adoption. You see the issue.

BUT BUTTER MY BUTT AND CALL ME BISCUIT--THEY ARE GORGEOUS.

Now to just choose the color...and carpeting for the bedrooms...and flooring for the baths...

Pray for my husband. :)
