Continued quest for flooring...

So, we are still considering all options for new flooring in our main living areas...and, after getting numerous quotes from various vendors and working on convincing Matt that the "hay" smell goes away within a few weeks, our top contender right now is seagrass. Basically, it would be the perfect in-between...hardwood floor meets carpet. I'm seeing this much more frequently lately in my endless search through design blogs & magazines, and it's really starting to grow on me. It looks fresh, clean and organic...and really goes well with almost any design style.

Here's some photos from the latest issue of Lonny Mag (love) to give you an idea of the "look"...
