Floor It

I'm finally getting around to posting a picture of our newly installed wood floor. Also purchased out a new rug this weekend to go under our dining room table. Have been browsing around in catalogs for some ideas for living room furniture.
[Edited 8/18]: We ended up getting a different color rug than the one shown here. The 'putty' color was a tad too pink, so we opted for 'stone' instead. It is the Unior Pier Rug from Crate and Barrel. And as a side note, we've never done so much rug exchanging in our lives - between the new color, and 2 defective rugs, it was a total of 4 tries before we got it right.

Oh, and the cats seem to enjoy the new floor too. We just hope they don't scratch it up....

Tried another new recipe this week, for salmon baked in foil, which I saw on Everyday Italian. I liked that it is really simple to make (even baked it in the toaster oven!).
