New Flooring ..

homedecor1 — Fri, 15 Jan 2021 03:52:28 GMT

I'm thrilled with the flooring and now the quest begins to find the right area rugs, casual chairs, tv media unit and coastal coffee table.

The funniest thing was I didn't like my furniture in the DR and had already decided to sell it and get new updated pieces.

Thank goodness the person never showed up because now I'm liking it ... oh the way things change in my mind minute to minute!

I did find a buffet but putting it "on hold" right now because the one I found is unavailable until mid-June. I didn't want to pay for something and it not come - then get a "store credit" they do not refund at this particular store.

I am waiting for the blind place to let me know when they can do the rod and drapes on the sliding doors.

@homedecor1 Suggestion -- a room divider between dining room and living room. Have fun decorating.

@homedecor1

Everything looks great! I did exactly the same thing with certain furniture pieces, planned on changing some out, there was a delay and now I'm aok with them. Was going to modernize more however the pieces fit right in.

Congratulations!

@Katcat1

The rooms will "eventually" be separated by the right furniture pieces.

Right now I haven't found exactly what I want. I've already made those mistakes 😉

my house is always a work in progress!!! lol

Your floor looks beautiful! And I love your DR furniture! I am changing over to coastal furniture soon. May I ask the brand and color of that flooring? Good luck with the rest of your decorating. I'm looking forward to seeing your choices. I'm sure once it's all done, we'll be seeing pictures of a beautifully decorated, cozy home.

@homedecor1 - The floor looks beautiful; great choice.

For area rugs, don't overlook Home Depot. I had searched for the longest time, online, rug, and furniture stores, you name it, for a large area rug for our bedroom. One day I went to Home Depot for some things and wandered over to the rug area - There it was, the exact rug that I was looking for.

@Mimi 1883

thank you - this morning I returned a few light fixtures to Lowe's and happened to see a rug sale sign.

They have really nice rugs too! I found one I like now just have to measure.

Next stop, Home Depot and then At Home. I prefer to see what I'm buying other than online from many retailers offering rugs.

And thank you for the compliment on the floors.

have a great weekend!

Thank you everyone for your kind words, suggestions and more!

My house is always a "on-going" project and I'm the worse ... I overthink everything and never make a quick decision!

I'll be "looking" for furniture for months, I can tell. I sat on the couch in the picture - its pretty soft my back would kill me plus not easy to get up from! So, its plan B into action...LOL!

Have a great weekend everyone and thank you!!!

I love the floor. In fact, I just picked out one that looks very similar (at least I hope so)! It won't be installed until next week. It was such a difficult decision, since I really couldn't imagine the outcome until the entire area will be installed. I'm having it put in my newly remodeled kitchen, with white Shaker cabinets, and in my foyer and dining room. If it turns out even half as nice as yours, I'll be happy!

@Elbelle

I took weeks and many samples brought home (and they aren't light either) to make sure it was right!

Then they were delayed for 7 weeks coming in from manufacturer - then I was nervous I picked the wrong color -OMG I was driving both my spouse and contractor crazy!!

I know what you mean - looks good in store but then we ? ourselves.

I drove the installer crazy with "gee I hope I like it" that he actually laid 1 box out in the pattern on the floor so I could see

it PRIOR to him installing it .. he was a good sport!

(Decisions are not one of my best traits ... I always second guess myself!)

Enjoy your new flooring ... it will look great I'm sure! I love white shaker cabinets mine are coastal cream and it blends perfectly

Have a good weekend!
