Oh, and for what it's worth, I had engineered wood in my old sewing room, and I hated it. It scratched easily (can't be refinished), and where my rolling chair was, the finish broke down. :(

33, with a birthday next week. All of my hobbies are old lady hobbies, though. Sewing, knitting, gardening, miniatures...I guess younger women aren't supposed to have any fun at all. ;)
