Tile is natural stone...mainly bone with caramel accents. Tile is octagon shaped 6" with caramel accents. I have dark oak window trim and molding. My vanity is quarter sawn oak stained
provincial (orange tone). I've narrowed my choices to Ivory, White, and Terra. Grout color desert bloom closely matches the tile, but, would leave me with no dimension. Please Help!! I have to decide this afternoon. I have large bathrooms so the grout color will make a difference. My vanity top is Indian Summer

I want to re-carpet my living room and hallway. It is about 355 square feet or 40 yards. (it has a ton of wierd off space which took a LONG time to measure)

I would rather not do it myself, as I have never done carpetting before.

I am not looking for anything incredibly fancy.

As usual for my questions, I am in Overland Park KS. (if that changes anything...)

Thanks!

The seed is a peach seed and the worm is about 6 inches length at rest (if this effects it at all).

It's hard to have a decent garden in TN anymore with the climate... Most of the summer, outside is SO hot and humid that it's horrible to be out and gardens die about now from the heat, no matter how well-watered!

The house was abandoned and there is signifigant water damage to the floors that make it impossible to refinish the floors. The amount of cupping is so bad a floor refinisher we had out to look at the floors said he would just replace it completely. That isn't in our budget right now, so we are considering painting the floor until we can afford to replace it. Any ideas on how to do it? Thanks for your help! :-)
