House Remodeling Thread (long)

Tough dilemma, NY!

We are hoping to install a floating cork floor in our motorhome in a year or so (budget is too tight this year with all the more essential things we've had to purchase for it). From posts I've read in RV forums, it appears that for our small space, this is a pretty easy DIY project, so with my handy DH, we will order the materials and DIY. I looked at a bunch of them online from Duro Design (http://www.duro-design.com/index.cfm...cork-flooring/), and I am sure we will have a hard time with color choice too. They have 54!!!!

DH and I both have light-colored hair, so I will probably go with a light color as dark floors really show the hairs. Our dog is black and white, so both dark and light floors are going to show her hairs, so that's a wash. Dark floors do show dust, and light floors show dirt more. The light oak floor we had in our house in NC was VERY forgiving compared to floors we've had since (dark and white), so I think I'll stick with that tone -- not super pale but a bit on the blonde side. That's also the color of our motorhome's oak cabinets.

I can't help you with your decision since these kinds of decisions are super tough for me too (and I haven't seen your furniture, etc.), just wanted to empathize. I bet whatever you pick is going to end up looking nice! Please post back with your decision, and hopefully some photos afterwards!
