Do it yourself flooring, it's SO easy...

After TWO years of complaining about the carpet in our house, we finally ripped it up and laid new flooring! The people who built the house decided that WHITE carpet was the best choice???
I don't think white carpet is ever the best choice! Not that I don't like white carpet because I do, I love the look of it but not when you have four kids and a dog!

We looked at all types of hardwood floors, which were way out of our price range, so we decided to do Pergo ( still out of range, but we HAD to do it!) the Do it yourself flooring, "It's so easy!" Ok, whoever 'coined' that saying definitely received a promotion in his flooring company! Because those three little words make everyone feel like they can just lay their own flooring! Just snap a couple of pieces in and wa-la, a beautiful floor! Huh NO! It was not that easy! As a matter of fact, we would still be working on it if not for our friend Jeremy who is a contractor, who graciously lent himself to us for two days! We could not have done it without him! We can't thank him enough for putting his very busy life on hold to help us out! Thanks again Jeremy we owe you BIG TIME!

So here are a few before and after pics. It's hard to see how beautiful it really is, I guess that means you'll just need to come HERE to see it in person-MOM... and anyone else who wants to come over.

This is the office before...

And after.

The living room before...

And after. It looks like Avery had a long day too...

Same room, different angle-before...

And after.

We are so happy with the results! It's like living in a new house! Now, when the time comes to sell, we might actually have a chance at selling!
