The room is around 440 sq feet, in the pic you can see the front half behind that couch is a bar area also full of furniture. Under the carpet is the wood, then the sub floor then insulation then a finished plaster ceiling..
My wife will have no problem picking a rug for the room, which is why I was kind of on the edge of ripping the carpet up, just to put a rug back down.... The wood will look much better, the kids don't even go on that side of the house, its the formal dining room, my office, that front parlor and a pair of entry ways, that no one uses, one goes to a porch that doesn't go to the yard at all, the other is the front door that we only use for letting in guests, even the pizza delivery guy uses the garage side entry...
Well it looks like that may be an upcoming project, before thanksgiving, to rip up the carpet, its only held down with double sided tape but moving everything from them rooms is going to be the hard part, my entire HT setup 7 couches, 2 desks, 2 juke boxes, the clocks, my music system, the entire bar, its definitely not as easy as it looks...
thanks guys..
