Due to the hydronic heat flooring we were limited in our wood floor choices. We primarily focused on the floating easy click system flooring options which will not buckle or become totally destroyed over time from the radiant heat. So, da dat ta da.... Hand Scraped 'Potomac Plank' from Lumber Liquidators. We checked their web site every weekend and pounced when there was a price drop, plus 15% off. Woohoo! The new wood floors will be a medium warm brown, not too light, or too dark. This will be the new flooring for both floors and bedrooms (the thought being that we'll have throw rugs in place and when the boys ruin them they can easily be tossed out). Our next big decision is choosing tile for the kitchen and hall entryway, and then paint colors, bathroom/kitchen fixtures, garage doors, etc. etc. etc. **the wood sample has been used as a drink coaster for several weeks now and I have pounded various hot wheel vehicles into it to see how it holds up. Surprisingly, the smaller indentations rather add to the rustic handscraped look. If a major gouge ever did occur, a black sharpie touch-up would add more rustic charm in going along with the handscraped look. That is the hope anyway :-)
