A preview of the flooring

This is a preview of the flooring that is going down over the weekend and Monday. The carpet is Carisse by Godfrey Hirst Carpets. It is a solution dyed nylon with a 15 year guarantee against stain resistance, soil resistance and appearance retention. The colour is called Nickel, which a jersey caramel look (Supermum's description not mine) - I would say it is the colour of a cardboard box (but that doesn't sound very exciting). The flash has added a bit of pink to it.

It is a sisal carpet that is rated as extra heavy use residential. We are quite happy with our selection, and the carpet layer is coming on Monday to install.

The timber is a Armstrong Armalock 8mm laminate. The colour is Cherry Spice, which sounds very American but I would describe the look as Tasmanian Oak. This flooring has a 20 year warranty. The flooring installation is going to be a DIY job - and hopefully this does not mean Destroy It Yourself.

More to follow next week ...

Hey guys,
The flooring looks great. Looks like it will be lovely and light right throughout the house.

Re your question on the software I used to make our garden design, it was Microsoft Visio. It's pretty easy because it has a whole load of little plants and icons in there so you just need to colour them in.

Matt (Walker) does a lot of mucking around with this sort of stuff as well I have noticed so he may know of another program in case you don't have Visio. Any graphics package will do it as well mind you (can get you copies if you need them ... ssshhhhhhh .. i didn't say that).

Love your flooring colours :) It will look so lovely when it is all finished.

Jase and I signed up for a paving and decking course at Bunnings, should be a hoot as neither of us are very 'handy' but if it helps save a $ or two we will be happy.
