In my attempt to freshen the appearance of our home, we decided to replace our worn out carpet! I moved into our house 7 months before Brad and I got married, so it’s been lived in for 4 1/2 years. Add in a dog, a baby, a messy husband and not cleaning the carpet as often as we should have and that equals carpet begging to be replaced! You could see where we walked through the living room to get to the kitchen and where we sat in our recliners! (Please excuse my assistant.)
But I didn’t realize HOW bad the carpet was until we moved all the furniture out! YUCK!
GA-ROSS!!
We used a rubberized material for the flooring in the gym that looks JUST like real hardwood and I fell in love with it. So we decided to use the residential grade of that flooring. I’m not exactly sure what it’s called. It’s a cross between ceramic tile and vinyl….it’s hard like tile but it’s more forgiving and less breakable. And I LOVE it!
I originally decided I wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets an off white color, but now I’m starting to reconsider. I kind of like them dark against the light floor, plus our living room furniture is dark so it all goes together. I definitely want to get a darker kitchen table now, but we have been saving for a 6 seater table anyway.
All in all, I am very pleased with the new look! I have also been working on repainting and stenciling my laundry room for a while now, so hopefully I can finish that up soon!
Have a fabulous weekend friends!

Looks great!! We're finishing our basement and I want to put hardwood down there. We'll see if the money can come through. :-)
Our carpets looks like that too when we moved out our furniture, it was awful! Love the new floors! And I really like the light floors with the dark cabinets!
It looks awesome Allison!
I LOVE those floors. They look great! I agree, you should leave the cabinets dark- it helps the flow of the room from the kitchen to the living room, if that makes sense. :)
love the new look
The floors look great!
