Julie, we love the brazillian cherry hardwood. Hope its what we anticipate. Were doing the first floor, stairs and second floor hallway for now. 3 weeks til that project starts.

It is real pretty and they just loved it. I might have to get that for our bedroom.

Be careful though if you get direct sunlight on it during the day. My brother had an area rug over there's and when he removed it you could see how the sun faded the rest of the floor. He got it at Lumber Liquidators.

Dan, with the laminate you don't have to worry. If you are going hardwood as we are, they say it darkens 300% in the first year. We will be moving furniture a lot the first year and definately no throw rugs.

Julie,

If you go with hardwood. I'm buying a mailer and I have a pancake compressor if you need to borrow. Lumber liquidators has the best price in hardwood.

Doug rather than messing with a mailer I would get a nailer.

Just a suggestion, Buy it at Harbor Freight BUT do not use their nails. Get good nails at Home Depot or Lowes or you'll find the gun doesn't work for crap. That sounds funny but I know two different people that went through this.
