This Girl’s House

We’ve been shopping a while for flooring. We looked at wood, laminate, cork, slate, and ceramic and porcealan tile. It’s important for me to have an easy care floor that doesn’t show a lot of dog hair and dirt since right now I spend a lot of time cleaning floors and carpet. We live on a lake, have two large dogs, and our lot is still a “construction zone” according to one of our neighbors. We still have years left of site development work to do. I had finally settled on a teak wood and a raja slate, but I discounted both for solid reasons. One of my neighbors owned a dog kennel and she told me that eventually with two large dogs, they’d wear a path in the hardwood. Stevie found the raja slate to be too rough for his feet. That left me back to square one again until I saw this add on Craig’s list. I had always been attracted to the wood look tile. We had hoped for something darker, but what we found was not that light, and at 62 cents a square foot delivered, it seemed like quite a deal. We bought enough to do the whole house if we feel like it.
