I have been bugging Dave for new floors in the den for awhile now. In the den was the cheapest and ugliest carpet you have ever seen. Possible exaggeration but pretty bad. We thought we could clean it when we moved in but nope. It was not cleanable (that may not be a word). It became terrible to the point you couldn’t tell if I had cleaned it or not. Finally we were so blessed to be able to put in hardwood floors in our house so we did! HUGE thanks for Mimi for watching Lillian for us so we could work all day on our floors and also to Poppy and Uncle Chad for coming over to help us install the floors and to lumber liquidators for having an amazing deal on our floors. It was scary getting started because we didn’t know exactly what we were doing. Thanks surprisingly to youtube videos Dave was able to figure out where to start. There was definitely some learning as we went but with some good teamwork (haha) we were able to do it. I am so glad we were able to install the floors ourselves cause it was a huge money saver and it is rewarding to know we did it ourselves. However after this process our next house will already have hardwood floors:) Hope you enjoy the pictures below of our new hardwood floors. We still need to do the foyer, hallway and powder room. Hopefully we can get that done this weekend. Should go faster since we have a better idea of what to do. Oh and we will be purchasing a coffee table to put on the rug. Oh the yellow stuff on the floor is moisture barrier (NOT FUN)!!! but good for keeping moisture out which is a GREAT thing. First two pics is before, then the moisture barrier down, then working on the floors, then done and exhausted. Last few the finish product!!
Sorry the pics are small. At least it gives you an idea. Pics of the foyer, hallway and powder room will come later when we finish. Yay for new floors!! We LOVE them!
