Still…. I am dreaming up stuff. It’s fun!

Hi Katrina – the house my parents built and I grew up in had herringbone parquetry floors, it holds so much nostalgia for me 🙂 We had floor heating throughout which unfortunately (for my parents) and fortunately (for us kids!) melted the glue in between which allowed us to pull all the bits of and play with them like blocks, then replace them on the concrete slab! Particularly in front of the open fire and the dishwasher where it was hot! So many nights spent in front of the fire stacking and re-stacking herringbone parquetry hahaha Mum eventually had to replace it, and now my family home is for sale: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-acreage+semi+rural-vic-thorpdale-108003531 Wanna buy it? 😉

I adore herringbone floors but if Wagga is anything like Townsville I think the builder's would laugh you out of the office! Some of our local builders don't even use straight timber floors, let alone angled ones 🙂
