Good-Bye Old Floor!
Wednesday, June 13, 2007 Posted In home improvement Edit This 1 Comment »
No knitting posts for right now...we have been busy with home improvement projects.
The time has come to get new flooring....this was the old flooring that we started to say goodbye to a couple of weeks ago. We had this lovely shade of cream carpet everywhere in our house. We determined that "someday" when we start a family, we really don't want cream/white carpet under our kitchen table. So we opted for some laminate wood flooring...Brian, Chris, and I spent a good part of a week putting it in, cutting, painting, etc. Our house isn't so much 1973 as it was...there are still parts...but this is a good start. How fun to have new flooring!
It was a little bit of a process, since each area of the flooring was at a different level for the laminate area. We had to put some boards, different padding down to even the floor out.

Is that a giraffe skin? or faux rocks? 
And, we put the floating laminate right over this kitchen floor. We have been living in a it of chaos with our furniture scattered all over the house in different rooms. But, will post the new pics as soon as it is all put together! The carpet is being put in as we speak, and I am so excited to be barefoot on our new flooring, and carpet!
