Before and After Home Renovations


During June and the first part of July we engaged in some serious renovations projects.  When you redo everything at once, everything needs it 21 years later!! 

I previously shared the kitchen cupboard transformations.


Today I share my favorite thing we did, replace our kitchen and dining room floors


In the kitchen we had vinyl and in the dining room we had carpet.

It took me awhile to talk my husband into going with a wood floor in the kitchen and dining room.  He caved and it is just beautiful. 




Dining room not quite finished


We also replaced the bathroom floor, redid the cupboards using the same product as the kitchen and installed new shower doors.












We thought about redoing the entryway with the wood, but decided it would take too much abuse so we got very nice high traffic carpet.














Living room carpet was also replaced at the last minute.







My mom and I recovered the dining table chairs, but will share those pictures at another time.

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme created by Alyce of At Home With Books and now hosted by West Metro Mommy post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos that you find online.

Oh I so envy the wood floors. I still haven't been able to convince my hubby to do that!

Love the floor. I want to redo part of my kitchen. I keep putting it off. Also repaint inside of house. When I think of it feels like "later". Perhaps when retire will have more time so 2014 could be it! So worthwhile when it is done!

I adore wood floors....and recall once having an older home to fix up and removing carpets to find great wood floors underneath.

Love your renovations!

Thanks for visiting my blog.
