We have finally picked out a floor brand, but now we have to pick out a specific type. It’s called “engineered wood” by Legend Flooring, which basically means it is layers of wood with the nicer wood layer on the top. We are now trying to decided between bamboo or mahogany. The bamboo is a little more of a neutral color, but the mahogany looks really dramatic against our turquoise walls.
Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes.
Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.

I love the bamboo!! We had both dark and light floors, and I will have to say go with the light. We had light in our house in Muncie, and with our kids, neighborhood kids and our dog running in and out from the yard/pool area, I never really had much of a problem with keeping the floor looking nice. Now, we have dark wood floors, and they are absolutely beautiful when they are clean, but they do not stay clean for very long. I am constantly wiping up doggy foot prints, and it REALLY shows when the sun shines in on it. So, if I had my rathers….I would go for the light bamboo…
Good Luck!!
