floors

We're installing new floors in our condo this summer! Thanks to Jessica, we have found some Pergo floors at an amazing price. Eric and his brother are planning to do the floors themselves (I know, scary right?), but hiring someone else to install costs about twice as much, so I think we're going to try and see how hard it really is. We're going to have faux hardwood in the entry, kitchen, dinning room, family room and hallway. The bedrooms will eventually get new carpet and we'd like to put nice tile in the bathrooms.

My Dad always did home improvement projects himself and so did Eric's Dad, but I'm a little apprehensive about how everything will turn out. Another concern is time; it's not like Eric and I have open weekends very often, and when we do Eric ends up having to work (that's why it's taken us almost a year to paint). So, we're going to try and set some time aside, but it's really hard to plan that far in advance because unexpected events and visits always seem to pop up on our social calendar.

It's been pretty hard to decide which color floor to chose, but I think we're going with Dark Cherry (pictured here, but of course it will look different/better in person).
