New floors!
No, this isn't a recipe for chocolate cupcakes (although they do look delicious). Adam and I bought hardwood flooring for the bedrooms this weekend! We went with solid ash hardwood in a chocolate tone (really, a medium brown colour). Although we haven't decided if we're going to install it ourselves or have someone else do it for us (please weigh in with your thoughts), the price of the flooring was too good to pass up. Ash is a good choice for us because it's a very hard hardwood with a pronounced grain pattern, which - according to what I've read - means dents and scratches will show less. And the chocolate colour was exactly what we've been looking for.

My thoughts? Don't bother with the pro. They'll be able to do it faster, yes, but the speed at which you'll be able to complete the project is definitely worth the price - in other words, the cost of the rental for the nail gun and compressor. The only hard part is laying that first board. After that? Even I could do it! Depending on the size of your master bedroom, you'll have it done in a day. Such a satisfying project!
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I've been doing lots of online research, watching videos, etc. and I feel like it's something we could handle with some careful planning. We're lucky that we're not using two of the bedrooms right now, so time isn't a huge factor (obviously it would be nice to have it done sooner rather than later, but we can take it one room at a time) and I'm aware that the cost savings would be huge. Nice to hear from someone who's done it and lived to tell the tale!
