Decisions re flooring ... help!

We've nutted down the flooring to one supplier and now are just trying to decide on the type of wood for the flooring. The others colours below are as follows: Walls: Dulux 'Buff It' (background same as paint chip top RHS) Ceiling and Cornice: Dulux 'Antique White USA' 1/2 strength Doors, Arcs and Skirts: Dulux 'Antique White USA' (under 'Buff It' paint chip) Bathrooms and Kitchen Lower Cabinets: Laminex 'Mocha' Kitchen Upper Cabinets: Laminex 'Angora' Kitchen Bench: Caesar Stone 'Ice Snow' Bathroom benches: Laminex 'Pure Mineralstone' in Diamond Gloss finish Tiles: As pictured, 400x400 for floors and on walls in showers and around bath Feature Tiles: white rectangular with pebble feature - between vanity and mirrors There will be some feature walls as well, a dusty rose colour in pink's room and a burnt orange in blue's. And various others throughout the house, to be decided when I finally make a decision! So now the next decision - floors. The above flooring is called Kempas, and the below is an example of Spotted Gum (showing the variations). Above: much much cheaper (about 30% cheaper) but my gut says 'too red!'. Bikeman quite likes it though. I'm a little more partial to the Spotted Gum but is it worth the extra $$? Hmmmmm.... help me!

Organising and Decision Making

Now we've come to the 'pointy' end of our building project. Plaster is finished, and we're trying to work through the timber floors, kitchen, paint colour (and undercoat), ordering doors, cabinetry, skirting boards and architraves. All at once! Eeeep. Thank god for being able to make decisions pretty quickly, and for good friends offering to help at our painting 'party'! Colours are pretty much decided, now just to buy a couple of sample pots and paint up some of the left over plasterboard to see how the colours look in the house. Fantastic! The hole in the floor is filled in now, and the verandah post holes at the front of the house also are full of concrete and ready for posts. No photos yet, sorry... will take the camera tomorrow for some pics. And not forgetting that at some point we have to sell our current house... so tomorrow morning will be dedicated to 'de-cluttering' and preparing for a bit of painting, and getting it ready for sale. Hopefully will have this house on the market in the next month. Afternoon will be more painting at the new house. Photos to follow sooooon!
