With Oak floors I can redecorate simply by getting new rugs!
The area rugs make sense as an option.....along with the oak floors which certainly must be beautiful. We were just discussing , ourselves, getting area rugs if and when we install the floating wood floors. Actually saw a segment last evening on HGTV on Direct TV where they installed the floating wood floors in a basement apartment which a home owner in Canada was converting to income property..........turned out beautifully and cut her mortgage payment in half.

Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful flooring ideas, options and their own favorites.......appreciate it.
