Around this time of the year we always get the "itch" to do some home improving. We usually start with the yard, which we did,(I will post pics of that soon) and then we tend to focus on what types of things we want to do inside. Rewind to December when we redid the girl's room and replaced all of our outdated gold hardware. For the past few years we have wanted to get hard wood floors put in but have gone back and forth, got quotes, etc but decided against. Well we finally got a great quote and could not pass up making this upgrade!!
When we first moved in(6 years ago this summer!) this laminate showing was shag carpet. We made the decision to replace with laminate(what we could afford) and did little research hiring Empire Today to do same day installation.
It accomplished what we wanted but would never use that company again. Luckily in our marriage we have learned one valuable thing... Research and take our time making big purchases and big decisions!!
The entry and study had hard wood floors already but as you can see they were that blonde color and there was a huge scratch in the study.
After numerous recommendations and again a great deal we hired Color Interiors and had hand scraped hard wood floors installed!!
LOVE the way they look!!
The contractors were so nice and did a really beautiful job. It took three days and maybe a life time of saw dust but well worth it.
We also got a new rug from Color Interiors. They offer tile, laminate, hard wood, rugs, carpet, etc. If you are needing any of this I highly recommend.
We are so pleased with how they turned out and know we will get a great return if we ever do decide to move. This will be it as far as projects go for this year. Wonder what will be next???
The floors look great, Leslie! love them! Makes a huge difference, huh? did ya'll get your banister stained yet? i'm hoping to get some projects of our own done this summer. always something! ;)
