New Floor

The last day of November we had a new floor put in to replace the laminate wood floor that was water damaged in places. These were the best Before pictures I could find and all the After pictures were from my phone so they're smaller.

Before
Wood in the kitchen.
After
Vinyl Tile in the Kitchen.
Before
Wood in the Dining Area.

Before
Carpet in the Hallway/Reverent Room. Also wood at the base of the stairs, in front of the garage and into the half bathroom.
After
My favorite part. We cut back the carpet and added a hallway. No more tracked on carpet with snowy, dirty shoes!
Before
Carpet in the Reverent Room and wood in the Entry Way.
After
The new shape of the carpet in the Reverent Room.
We love our new floor! It's so fun to have a fresh new look to our house and have that added feeling of wanting to take pride in our home. I was worried that cutting back the carpet would make the room feel smaller, but it did the opposite. The part I'm most happy about is we can stick to the rule of no shoes on the carpet. Before it was pretty much impossible because it was too hard to take our shoes off between each trip to and from the garage while hauling in groceries. Now we don't have that problem!

It looks great Sara! I love it, and what a great idea to make a hallway without carpet!
