Thinking Way in the Future

This is a decision we are way off from needing to make, but I am already thinking on it.

 I thought I wanted to go with the dark wood floors everyone is doing right now. We had light wood floors for almost 20 years so a change would be nice.

 I got my wood floors in a barter with Bill. He wanted to hunt a Zebra and I said no, it's just a pretty striped horse. Then I came up with the idea that if the Zebra was hurt so bad that it would be a Lions dinner soon and if he would let me put in hardwood floors throughout the main floor of the house he could go after a Zebra. Our PH (Professional Hunter) had never had something like that happen before on one of his hunts. Oh, and I said I had to have proof that the Zebra was actually injured they couldn't just say it. He got his Zebra and I got my hardwood floors.

As you can see dark floors will not work for us. We live in the country and even with us walking on a carpet before coming into the house way too much is tracked in for dark floors. Guess I will have to look for other options. Thought maybe a distressed wood; it wouldn't show the dirt as much; no the indentations that make it so pretty will trap the dirt. May have to go with tile that looks like distressed wood but doesn't  have the indentations
