Reading it now, haha. Haven't logged in in months. We are also going crazy with our house... Do you have hardwoods? Did they run them in the kitchen as well if you do? We want hardwoods in the living and entry, but Tim thinks it'll look weird if it doesn't run into the kitchen too. I keep trying to tell him that linoleum is cool, but I don't think he's falling for it.

When we bought the house, it was a condition of sale that they rip up the carpet on the first floor and do hardwood throughout- kitchen, bathroom, everywhere. Looks really nice, but they used the wood that the foyer is (I'm assuming you have the same) and it's shit!!! Scratches and dents so easily. The wood is millimeters thick. We had Steve look at it and he said there isn't a way to refinish/seal them- we'd have to replace them. Um, no way am I spending that kind of money in this house! The toilet is leaking and has ruined that wood, so we're going to tile the bathroom and keep the crappy hardwood. We're getting rid of the linoleum in both of the bathrooms upstairs, but keeping it in the laundry room.
