Floor envy. It’s funny, I grew up thinking that hardwood floors were “poor people floors” because all my friends lived in two-story houses and had carpet on the floors of their bedrooms and I lived in a little ranch house sans carpet. The hardwood floor in my childhood bedroom had little gaps between the planks so when I’d kneel to play with…whatever (probably a toy stable with tiny little plastic horses because ALL my childhood playthings were horse-related) I’d have little lines up and down my knees and elbows from being on the floor. My house now has hardwood floors and they’re lovely and the idiot dogs have ZERO traction on them which is funny when they play because they slide all the fuck over the place. But DAMN. I have some serious herringbone wood floor envy right now. (Also, I want another giant vintage steamer trunk to go with the one Justin got me a few years ago but have nowhere to put it right now.)
