Tiger Wood floor is complete


Well, first it was the Tiger Woods golf tournament, then it was the cold from you-know-where, then it was Christmas and the Tiger Wood floor...


Let me explain - we spent most of our Christmas weekend ripping out our old carpeting and replacing it with Armstrong Tiger Maple laminate flooring. It's a beautiful design, and it makes the house look AMAZING - when we were shopping for it, I joked with my wife that I wanted that pattern because it was a Tiger Wood floor...she wanted it because it was more attractive than the "bleahhh" blue/grey carpeting that we installed about five years ago...you know you HATE your carpeting when you come home from work and the bare concrete slab looks better than the carpeting that was there that morning...


We wrapped up the finish work on December 30, which was a huge coincidence with Tiger's birthday, and announcement of his impending fatherhood. (Congratulations to Tiger and Elin - I saw her at the recent Target World Challenge, and she's TALLER than I thought she was....) We went to Kohl's on a whim on Friday night, and scored some HUGE deals on area rugs - the budget got a bit of a reprieve, and we got some BEAUTIFUL area rugs at 40-70% off...


Now, it's a waiting game for that black leather sofa to go on sale at Plummer's Home and Office Furniture, and we're in luck...
