Basement: Cork Floors
"Imagine the perfect floor...beautiful to look at, yet easy to care for...quiet, soft and warm to the touch, yet durable enough to handle all kinds of traffic - pets, children, high heels (!?!)... fashionable and fits any decor, yet insulates against sound, noise and temperature change."
--Westhollow Cork installation instructions
I've mentioned that we're considering cork floors. Because we're cool. And like warm floors.
We went with 500sqft of it. Sure, it's about the most expensive flooring a person can buy, but our children are *gag* worth it
I chose iFloor.com's free shipping option where one picks up 1000lbs of flooring from a freight shipping terminal. Not bad, although the wagon drove home like a boat. Still got 35 mpg this morning driving Max to school and out towards Kansas to get the floor.
Westhollow's National Collection Montreal Stone cork flooring at $3.59/sqft.
Why Cork? It's CoRkY of course!
For more on why Cork is going to be all the rage, see these links:

Now let's see if I can level out the crappy cement in the basement well enough for this project to fly.
