Too much pressure in the Pod family; almost everyone is in a creative/artistic field, can't have vanilla-flavored decor! :roll:

You should see my master bedroom right now - stripped to the plywood subfloor (complete with water marks) and walls down to jagged, torn-up drywall (I have no choice but to go with a deeply textured wallpaper or pay big bucks for major drywall repair!!!!)

I like brown, but would go a bit lighter. I really think the yellow or peach sounds wonderful though.

I'll really have to take a pic so y'all can see just how bad this is. It's going to take me months to make it livable again.
I do have a question though as long as we are on the subject of decorating. I was toying with having a hardwood floor installed but the expense is scaring me. My kids have laminate in their room and I think it looks great and will cost much less. But I have so many people telling me now to break down and pay for the hardwood. Any other opinions on this?
By the way, the room is going to be a tropical theme; already have the wicker bed from Ikea (sitting unassembled in my garage of course, awaiting the other room improvements.)
And not that I would take decorating advice from me, Peapod, but I rather liked the contrast of the peachy tone with the green tile. Like TFT suggested - maybe a little lighter than the shade you chose.
We're on day 2 of the harwood floor installation upstairs. New bathroom started June 1st and just got finished. Entire upstairs, three bedrooms, two baths will be hardwood or tile. All carpet gone........ good bye..... good riddins....
I love the feel of 3/4 inch hardwood strips. It is solid and beautiful. It'll take at least a third day so I'll post pics maybe Wed night. To me, it is worth the splurge. The problem with engineered floors, especially in high traffic areas is that if they get scratched a certain depth ..... it shows and can't be fixed. 3/4 inch hardwoods get scratched and weathered over time but it makes them even more "warm" and natural. Just my two cents .....
We have 3/4 inch hard wood on the main level already and the basement is tile. I hate carpet ..... it collects so much "stuff" over the years.
Did I mention I like hardwood floors?:roll:
