Floor Project Update
EDIT UPDATE: We now have flooring stacked in a HUGE pile in the middle of the family room, but work will not begin until Monday, December 6th…
Blame it on Thankee, she wanted to know!
After spending a good bit of time rounding up my pre-floor paint/cabinetry/prep crew and getting everything all synchronized and scheduled, I called my Floor Guy to order the wood flooring we selected several months ago so that it would be available when we will be ready to install it. Floor Guy tells me that the one we picked is no longer in stock. ARRRGH!!!! Floor Guy then tells me he will research the stuff that has come in since we made our original selection for a suitable replacement and he finds something with an even longer warranty for less $.15 per square foot difference in price. Flooring and supplies are now ordered and will be available for our original start date. Yay for Floor Guy!
We already have some natural colored oak planks in the kitchen and since a lot of the areas that will also be getting new flooring are in some rather low-light regions (hallways with no windows and bigger rooms with only one window) of our home, I wanted to stick with the same sort of light, natural coloring and a shiny finish to reflect even more light, but I was worried that it would look like we tried to match and failed in the areas where new and old floors would meet. I decided that the new flooring would run crossways from the planks in the kitchen/breakfast area to make it look more like we meant for it to be different and then Paint/cabintry/prep crew Leader had an awesome idea, too. Just in the areas of the threshhold of the two doorways where the two different floors will meet, we are going to use a much darker color. He also suggested that we take a little more of the darker colored wood planks and use them around the perimeter of the entryway where we have an elevation change to call attention to it for safety purposes as well as adding visual interest. Brilliant! Yay for Paint/cabintry/prep crew Leader!
This is the wood flooring we already have in the kitchen/breakfast area. (Daughter’s dog, Rigby is on food clean-up detail here.) It looks a bit darker in this picture, but you get the idea.
I still have some painting to do and wallpaper border to hang in our bedroom before the floor goes in there and our Paint/cabintry/prep crew will be handling the work in the family room area before that floor gets installed, so things around this place will be pretty messy and quite busy for a while, but I am really looking forward to showing off our much spiffier home when we finish!
Blessings to All…

I just hope you don’t let that guy stomp all over the place with those hooves making gouges in the wood….It will be interesting to see the finished project..
Yay for Floor Guy! Yay for Paint, etc. Leader. Yay for dogs on floor clean-up detail. We always call my mom’s dog over when the one year old grand-daughter eats here.

Thank you for sharing this article! I really like it! Because of
their relatively low level of writing. After seeing your article, I tried to
write some of this stuff, I published here, such as Coach Outlet, Coach Outlet Canada and Coach Bags Outlet. Those are
just a large blog, here there are some small blog site, also released a number
of articles. From http://www.usa-coach-bags.com/.
