Hi,

I'm looking for advice on flooring for a first floor master bedroom in a newly purchased home. The rest of the first floor is either site finished maple or tile (at the entrances). However, the master bedroom had carpet in a shade of green that my wife hated. Now were debating between replacing with new carpet or wood. My preference is either carpet or prefinished wood that I can install myself. Limited to prefinished, we wouldn't be able to match the existing flooring in the rest of the first floor, so I've considered going with a darker wood. However, from the threads I've searched here it seems like mixing hard wood flooring types is frowned upon. I'd welcome your opinions.

Thanks!

Gary
