This is a very high-traffic room with the woodstove in it, so carpet it out of the question.<BR/><BR/>I do have a big braided wool rug that was given to me that is on the floor right now. It covers the worst of the chewed up flooring. I do love it! I'll take an area rug over installed carpeting any day! It's nice that I can flip it and vacuum both sides and take it out and beat the heck out of it when it gets really dirty. That's essential with all the "wood dirt" that gets hauled in right now.Rosie_Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363843512357526257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390087221610436679.post-69327795884466524032009-02-14T15:02:00.000-05:002009-02-14T15:02:00.000-05:00I'm glad you liked my comment, and appreciate that...I'm glad you liked my comment, and appreciate that<BR/>you didn't consider it meddling. Do you have a place that sells cheap carpet? A Good will where you can pick up a rug? Do you like to make things? My friend Vinehill Woman (not a blogger) makes gorgeous thick braided rugs out of old wool blankets and wool clothes she picks up for next to nothing. A nice area rug could also go on the new floors later on. I hear you but it still sounds like a ton of work. I'm not young and brave anymore. The whole process would do me in. I have a flooring issue too but not as bad as yours. Mine is just ugly old stained carpet. I covered it up with throw rugs.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.com
