New Floors

Here are some before and after pictures of our floors. A series of events and sicknesses sped up our decision to replace the carpeting in the family room. It wasn't very practical to have white carpeting with kids. It also wasn't great that our deck door lead right into the white floor. We were fortunate to be able to get new floors (thank you taxes) and it was a crazy, whirlwind experience.

Here is the land of beige before the carpets were removed. I know the carpets don't look too bad in these shots but there were some pretty noticeable stains and also, the carpet had turned more of a beige/grey:

They look FANTASTIC!!!!! I am so incredibly jealous. My carpets are in rough shape. They make a HUGE difference in that space. Great job picking them out!

Erin - I got those rugs for dirt cheap on overstock. I love that site because everything is rated and they got high marks. I was a little wary of ordering something like a rug but they came within two days too.

Car, the floors look AWESOME! I bet it was gratifying and so much fun to put the rooms back together, especially after the hassle it was getting the hardwoods in. So worth it, though. The new rugs tie everything together, too. Great choices, and sooo much more kid-friendly.
