That carpet had done its job. It gave warmth on many Christmas mornings while the kids opened their presents. It was a place to sit after my brothers funeral and ALL his friends came to share sweet memories, cry, laugh and sing his favorite songs.
Gosh I bet you will never look at your carpet the same...LOL.
The floor is a glue down tongue and groove by Anderson. I needed a wood that would blend with all the other wood trim in the house. It was a little pricey, so I tried to find something comparable at Lowes and Home Depot, but no luck I had to get the one at the local flooring store, but no regrets , I LOVE IT. 
Don't you agree it blends really great? You can see by the pictures, the floor had to blend with white baseboards, the entertainment center and two dark cherry book cases in the library.
But there is a clean wood floor ready to share our next fifteen years of memories. Now, I just need to find some new chairs and rugs to bestow upon it. 
Also thanks to everyone who gave great advice on how to keep my new floor looking great and free of all those multiplying dust bunnies.

Your floor looks beautiful. I would love wood throughout when we build next time. Then I would have a good excuse to buy orientals and other fancy rugs! Are you going to use any type of area rug?
SHED!!! Did you just call my Cottage studio a shed.....We need to talk sista! It's not a shed...did you see a lawn mower in there? Nope you did not... guess you were a bit mixed up cause my lawn looked like a pigpin and my flower beds looked like a pruned garden....yep...but shed...please!
~WOW!!!! I love the floors Melissa!
You did a fabulous job on them. Gorgeous color and warmth to it all.
~Blessings, ~Melissa :)

It's beautiful, Missy! I have hardwood in my house and I do love it...all except for those giant dust bunnies with three very hairy dogs! : )
Love the floors! We are dying to put wood flooring in our foyer, living and dining rooms. We have stained carpet now...i am sure you are thrilled with them.
Missy.. I adore Hickoy.. this is lovley. Send hubby over please.. cause it's my turn. (heehee)
Very nice! I agree your wood floors are blended perfectly. I would love to have wooden floors too but my lovely carpet still works for me. I usually contact my trusted carpet cleaners, Orange County based, at least once in three months to remove the dirt and germs so that I'm assured of my kids safety whenever they're playing.
By the way, Nicole, you should have the stained removed as soon as possible as it may become more difficult to remove the stain if you let it stay there longer. If ever you're in California, I know a good carpet cleaning in Orange County that can help you.
Hope this helps!
