Unsettled (Two Days After Moving)

I've spent two nights at my new place now. Two nights of very bad sleep. This is going to take a little getting used to and a couple things to take care of before we really settle in.
Like any new place there are things to do and I suggested we divide and conquer, when I called Walter this afternoon to let him know I took care of PG&E and they would be coming out thursday to do a safety check on the gas heaters, we talked about how well we slept and it seems he got woken up by the same house sounds as I did.
I've never lived in a home with hardwood floors, and I didn't know how much a 100+ year old home with hardwood floors would echo and creek without rugs or runners.
I stopped by Create & Barrel on the way home tonight and while I didn't find any rugs that jumped out at me, I did find a set of sheets half off (score!) and got some ideas. Ok, that's not entirely true, there were some rugs that jumped out at me, but the one I liked for my room was $1,200, a bit too pricey.

Thank you,
The stripes run in the same direction as the hardwood floor, I've got an idea and probably look for something similar but cheeper elsewhere.

I agree with the loud hardwood floors!!! Once everything is in though it will be totally different!
I love your new place!!
The beauty and silence will be yet to come.
