Choosing floorboards is fun

Hubby picked up two samples of floorboards which we may using in the house. We want to replace the old baltic pine and have the same boards right the way through into the extension.

This is what he brought home:

They both look very simialar to me. The one on the left is messmate (which I had never heard of before but hubby had) and the other is stringy bark. I think I am liking the stringy bark a bit more. They come in either width and are all made from recycled wood.

Next Saturday we will both go to the showroom to have a better look.

Yay!! This is the fun part  :)
