Ryan and I have been saving up to do this very big and exciting (but also super messy) house project! We had been putting it off and putting it off, but it became something we couldn't stop talking about. Finally, we decided to go for it and had been pricing/shopping for months to get the best deal. We ordered the materials and got a great flooring company to help install...
Here's the adventure below...the pictures tell the story, but I'll add a few captions here and there. :)
 |
| This is our old entry way...front door to living room was tile |
 |
| This is the living room view from the front door/entry way... this was the morning before demo so we just left the couches out. |
 |
| "Formal Dining" - however we have no table (someday..) just our elypitcal and Moose's kennel are usually out here. That pile of boxes is our soon to be hardwood floor! The hallway to the right goes to Landon's room, guest room and guest bath. |
 |
| Here's the hallway - all carpet. |
 |
| Hallway to our bedroom door.. just took a close up of the floor before! |
 |
| Moose again...this is the kitchen tile. |
 |
| Close up of tile in kitchen... |
 |
| And the demo begins... this is the entry way/front door. No more tile! We didn't want tile there anymore and had the hardwood start there and flow into the rest of the house. |
 |
| Oh boy...the living room. The fridge had to be moved out to do the tile. DUST WAS EVERYWHERE! |
 |
| They moved all the furniture into the dining room so they could get the hardwoods down in the living room and then pull up this carpet and move the furniture back. They tried their best covering everything with thin plastic, but dust still found its way into everything! |
 |
| Some of the kitchen tile... I didn't really know how I felt about it yet when I took this pic. I'm a visual person I needed to see the 'whole picture' complete to really like it! |
 |
| Up close...they did a 'brick' pattern. The tiles are 18x18, our old ones were 12x12. |
 |
| Around the island... excuse the mess on the counters. |
 |
| Just an idea of this side of the house... |
 |
| No more carpet... |
 |
| Fireplace - part of entry way and the hallway to our bedroom. |
And the reveal...drum roll please!!!! ....
 |
| Living room!!! Such a difference :) LOVE THE FLOORS! |
 |
| Another angle after we put the house back together... |
 |
| Entry way.. no more tile!!! |
 |
| Entry way on the left by the cross... part of living room...hallway to our bedroom back there... |
 |
| Now Landon can get EVERYWHERE in his walker...haha oh boy! |
 |
| Hallway |
 |
| Onto the kitchen... |
 |
| Transition from hardwood to tile... LOVE THE TILE!!! |
 |
| Still messy! sorry! Looks a 1000 times better! |
 |
| Another view! |
We love the new look of our house! It was a heck of a 3 days living in our bedroom with Landon and Moose (who by the way got sick and made a HUGE mess in our room.. ugh. But he's on the mend now.) So glad we saved up to do this. Our house is now 8 years old and the family that lived in it before had 2 kids and a dog. Still didn't really feel like 'our home' yet, but now that we've done this it does! We are so blessed. Cannot wait to show family and friends! Come visit us!
Couldn't end this (huge) post without a little video of Landon. 8 1/2 months already? Really? Gosh where does the time go? Already planning ideas for his birthday. Am I crazy?
Happy Sunday yall!
New blog template buts a box around my signature...how do I fix that?!
It's a wonderful life!
Looks fabulous, Melissa and Sean are having wood floors put in this weekend too.
