Yeah we are going with Pergo. I wanted to go slate tile or something but it just would not go well with how we are redesigning. That and I hate laying tile!

Got a great deal on the cabinets though (save about $500.00) cuz we knew the guy.

I am just waiting for the unexpected-cost-a-lot-of-money-to-fix problem that always seems to turn up.

Mavourneen - How is this "gouffrage dreamfibre" with cat hair? I'm looking for a couch for a room populated by cats. I can't control how much hair comes _from_ the cats, but I would like the couch to be easy to clean hair from. I'd appreciate your advice.

Well, Flyvote...it's funny you asked. I have two elderly chickie babes at home myself. I was going to take a handle of fabric home tonight for

a) Husbands perusal - but his color vote doesn't mean sh*t to a tree..I'm gonna pick out the color. I'm humoring him...
b) To test the fabric and how it reacts to the dog/cat hair. (Easy to clean, resistant, etc)

I will perform my experiment tonight and get back to you!

Thank you, I do very much appreciate your help/tests. I have a large army of cats (which I am allergic to, but that's another story) and hair control is a priority. After the furniture is picked out I will be getting a Roomba to scamper about and do its job "sucking".

Make sure you borrow a Roomba from someone before you buy, and test it in any house with cats.
My sister spent over $200 for one a few years ago and it turned into the world's most expensive cat toy. Her girls kept batting it about and attacking it.

She sold it a friend for $100 a week after buying it because the store wouldn't take it back (bite marks & all!)

This will be a new Roomba just for that room. To supplement the other three that we have. Our cats run away from the Roombas (Roombi?) except for the deaf one. Cat that is. Well the Roombas don't hear either.

Roombas work OK, but don't have a great battery service life. I need to replace some battery packs.

The Scooba is even better. Leaves floors squeaky clean.

Yeah Mav my cat would just pounce and go into hyper kill mode. The Roomba would be destroyed within days...sigh. This is why I have a real cleaning lady ( if she retires I will have to kill myself in some sort of ritual fashion before I am buried beneath the mess)My dogs believe the cleaning lady is the most wonderful person in the universe. I can always tell when she's pulled up out front as the dogs go into transports of joy bounding around like giant bones are falling from the sky...it's hilarious.

By the way I love your sofa...and curse you for showing me a site full of lovely chairs and sofas just as I am about to pick out replacement chairs...argh

It's kinda 2 jokes in one. In decimal, it would say "There are 3 kinds of people: Those who can count, and those who can't." I suppose the binary joke would have to have been modified to say "count in binary" instead of "understand binary".

Only because not doing so would bring undue attention to the hole in the wall next to the bed caused by a singularly strenuous, and slightly feisty baby-making experiment gone wrong. To cover the plaster repair, paint matching is a less desired alternative to repainting the entire room.
