Anyway, we were set on ripping out our old carpet and then getting new carpet for our 3 bedrooms, and then getting wood floor for all of our living space, kitchen etc. Adam's good friend/sponsor owns a flooring business and was able to give us a reasonable deal on wood flooring and carpet. This was seriously one of the longest projects ever!!
Adam decided to be proactive and help out by ripping out our carpets himself and that way when they came to do the floors it would save a little time for them. They first came back on June 2nd and did our carpets in our bedrooms.. I was SO happy that part was done. I think remodeling is a lot worse, 10X times worse than moving because you have no where to put all your junk.. Anyway they realized they didn't have enough of the wood we wanted to even come close to finishing up our living/dining/kitchen areas.. so we basically had to live with half a wood floor piece and just our tile for 3 weeks! It was a pain to have everything half done for that long amount of time. It was nice, however, to have my parents place to stay while they did our carpets and then did the rest of the wood.
Just our luck that the wood they ordered would end up being discontinued.. so then we had to make a decision to go with a new wood floor color and look or go with the similar one but it would be back ordered a few weeks. We decided to go with a whole new wood. I actually love the wood we ended up with! It's not as 'gray' as the last one was and definitely looks like more real, natural wood. Even though this remodeling project took us 3 weeks and was hell to take everything out and put in back in order I am so glad we did it! The floors have been so easy to clean and look so much nicer and cozier!
Here are a few before and after pictures!
Beautiful, shiny and neat wood floors. It compliments your lovely house. :)
