A project is about to unfold

After years of wanting hardwood floors I am finally on the verge of actually getting them. I've had these two samples to ponder over for two days now and have chosen the one on the left. Tomorrow someone from the business we are buying this from will come to measure. The carpet has been changed four times, however, I have stuck it out with the linoleum that was put in the house when we built it. I remember distintly stating that I would have it for a couple of years and then replace it with tile. The ONLY good thing about not replacing the linoleum was that had I put tile in my back and knees would be hurting far worse than they do now. I just wasn't thinking past 25 years when we built the home. So off we go on a different sort of adventure for me. No moving to another country or starting a new business... the adventure of home redecorating. ;-)
