Up until this point in our lives, we did not know it was possible to spend an entire day staring at chunks of wood on a floor. Now, we know.
We keep going back and forth with our decision. We've found a few different options that we love, and the prices really vary. Logic tells us to just get the most affordable one and be done with it, but then were not giving our business to the community, which is a big deal for us. To be fair, the local stores gave us the best quotes they could, even lowering their prices by about $1.00 a square foot since we're buying over 1000 square feet, and that really adds up!
Our desire to buy local cannot, however, surpass our need to save thousands of dollars. Even at their best prices, the local joints can't match the Lumber Liquidators prices for the floors we like. And ironically, our cheapest option is a perfect match in tone and color, AND it's the only option that is 100% hardwood (not engineered).
I think it's a no brainer at this point. We know what we need to do. Now we just have to get our measurements in order, and get into a "money-spending" (a.k.a. credit-applying) state of mind.
