So if all of those work out properly, then I will come out more than ahead. I am coming to realize just how much I spend on deals though. I might have to look at really trying to budget seperately for that.

P.S. In the pic with the wallpaper, there are our 2 flooring choices. Both are real wood (hickory). I am having a hard time deciding between which one to go with. I am starting to lean towards the dark though.

Here is a link with our 2 choices next to each other. The dark hickory pictured is fairly close to the stain of the one we might choose.

So, take a peek and let me know what you think! I have until tomorrow--Monday to choose!
