Lance we are saving the "Pick My Nose" title for the first member to get plastic surgery. Should be starting any time now, the way things are going around here.

LOL Car--and no telling what other surgeries could foster some interesting thread titles!

Hmmm..like when someone wants to get lipo on their rear end? We'd have a title "Pick my Butt"?

zachsmom cannot believe she typed that!

Thanks for the clarification, Car. Now I get it.

My enthusiasm for astroturf stems from the identification I felt early on with Carl Spackler from Caddyshack. The harmony he felt with his world and his job were motivation for me to pursue a career in mattress testing.

Unfortunately, it turned out that I was too good at my job, and it was "suggested" that I look into the other exciting things I could do with my talents.

My position on the wallpaper border would be about 3/4 down the back wall of the room, clinging desperately to a 2-dimensional flower vine.

My position on the color purple is that Oprah should stick to the talk show.

Did that clarify anything for you? Cuz I'm more confused than before...

Well, I'm still going with floor #2, and admit to Goddess that it is a compromise--which was what I thought Weiner was looking for--lol.

I am still suspicious, Mware.... don't hang any beds from the ceiling...I am watching you.

(Kia is not too popular in the TS threads...she has a strange affinity with wallpaper border that is eerie.) Her next room is supposed to be an homage to all things military...complete with camouflage upholstery.

Zachsmom, I am expecting the Pick My Butt thread momentarily, and some how I anticipate more posting than the floor thread.

I like the Color Purple too. Whoopie did an excellent job.

Lance, I'm not really looking for a compromise, I'm looking for the best choice to reach out and grab me, and so far it hasn't.

I thought I had my choice this morning, but again, I'm not 100% sure.

Rabbit was right. Whatever I choose, 2/3 of the people will be disappointed, and if I don't choose no. 3 then Goddess will sue me, but she will anyway because she will slip and fall. I'll have to clean up the mud before she shows up. She seems to have wished a pox on this thread and fled to greener astroturf anyway.

And no, this is not Pergo, it's Bruce engineered hardwood flooring.

All joking aside, everyone's thoughts and suggestions are very helpful, but when it comes right down to it, the Weiners have to live with it. Weinermrs has said (more than once) "Just pick one." When the moment is right, we will "just pick one".

If everyone prefers, we can just do that checkerboard pattern, and move the Chess Game thread to my house. What kind of pizza does everyone want? I like pepperoni.

Weiner - Moving the Chess thread to your house is actually a great idea! Bob and I are playing, and if the animals or the peanut gallery get too frisky, he'll be there to clean the floor.

Also - My uncle is being fitted for dentures on Tuesday morning. Can we start a "Pick My Teeth" thread too?

Wewiner, here is another option. Draw one of the choices out of a hat, bowl or some such container. Go with what you pick. If you can't bring yourself to accept the choice, then you know that one isn't right for you and Weinermrs.

Most any kind of pizza, as long as it doesn't have pineapple or any fish on it.

Weiner, it is your floor. Pick the one YOU like and lie to us. See? Simple.

Weiner, Can you eliminate one of the options? That will leave you with two and you can flip a coin. I've heard it is the best way to decide something like this because while the coin is in the air you will probable realize which side you want to land.
Worth a try?

I like number 3. The lighter floor might not match your darker furniture.

<sigh> Well, congratulations on making a choice, Weiner. Have fun installing it, and I have to believe that since you chose it that it will be beautiful.

<makes a last ditch plea for #3>

Yaay...that is the one I would have picked for me. Very cool, will be a good contrast. Now on your knees, man!

Thank you! Gotta order the flooring now. I'll have to gather up the change.

Weinermr, just got back from Lowe's and actually stood there in front of the flooring choices and thought of you. I do believe in person that #2 is an excellent choice!

Not to horn in on your thread, but now that your dilema has been solved, I have a flooring question also. We have parquet in our foyer and down our hall. Hubby wants to put new carpet in the living room, I want to put parquet to match the foyer. He says if we do wood we will do planks. I say no. Of course we always have a shouting match everytime we go to Lowe's, I think we go there to vent our frustrations. By the time we get home we're okay, til our next trip! Anyway, back on topic, carpet, parquet or plank? Any and all suggestions welcome!

Weinermrs says,

If your living room is formal, then go with the carpeting. It can add to the richness of the room. If the living room is less formal or casual, then continue the parquet flooring IF the parquet flooring and living room meet. If the living room is less formal and there is a separation between the hall and the living room, then the plank in the living room may make a good contrast.

Sounds good to me, and please let us know how it all turns out. This thread is now yours Abby.

Weiner, someone posted this already but don't forget to let the wood "rest" inside your house for a while before you start installing so it adjusts to the change in humidity and temperature. Norm always does that.
