Hearting Hardwood

I dream of hardwood floors. Seriously. While desert living promises matchless sunsets, exciting architecture and gorgeous weather, it also delivers row upon row of tract houses and an overabundance of tile. Blechk. Don't get me wrong, most days I love where I live, but I have also spent many afternoons longing for floor to ceiling windows with billowing curtains, charming old fixtures and rich hardwood under my feet. If I had the opportunity to turn daydream into reality, I'm convinced this is what it would look like.
