A Brand New Floor!

I promised my friend, AM, that I would post the results when my living room floor received its makeover, so here it is!

My living room is the last room in our home to receive any tender loving care. All the other rooms in the house have been painted and decorated, renovated or updated but this room was still builder's beige, and the beige carpet had received some rough treatment from dogs and children. Doesn't look too bad here (other than blah)...



...but, yep, it desperately needed help and thanks to mom and dad, the decision was made to start with a new floor. I settled on a hard-wood look laminate and after weeks of waiting, the flooring materials were delivered and we finished emptying the room.



And Tuesday the installer came and laid the floor (apparently he was amazing). I was out of town on business and by the time I arrived home late in the evening, my parents had returned all the furniture to the room and the whole room was glowing from the warm colour of the new floor. I can't believe how much I love it!!!!!



Of course, now the curtains and old furniture are looking even worse, and the walls really need some colour, but with the Christmas tree up (just finished tonight) it looks pretty darn good! Have a look in this short video clip...



Thanks, Mom and Dad!
