$25 large, God help me. Tile floors in the bathrooms and laundry room are on top of that. It's some middle to slightly dark golden red "distressed" hickory that will work with our Rosewood furniture and the oak built ins, or so the guy says. Our carpet is 11 years old and looks it. Nice house, but the first thing you notice is the sort of emerald green carpet. It looked dingy from the 2nd month we installed it when we bought the house. I'll post some before and after pics as we get closer. Gotta move just about everything out of the house! I think I'll rent a dumpster and do some serious thinning of the junk. I don't mind too much tiling a bathroom shower, which I'm in the middle of, but 2,000 sq. ft. of flooring, I just don't see me doing that. It works out to about $12.50/sq. ft. which isn't cheap, but its very good quality hardwood. Also, I like dealing with one vendor, not buying the stuff from Lumber Liquidators and then finding a contractor who may or may not been around in five years. The company I'm using has been in my city for 30 years and I'm getting a 25 year warranty on materials and labor.
