I still remember the first time we walked into this house. We had been house-hunting in the area for awhile, but we hadn’t really found anything that really felt right. When the realtor opened the door to this place, something just felt right. It felt right, but there were many, many, many, many things that we knew we’d want to change.
The first big item on the list was repainting all of the walls gray and painting all of the trim white.
After 3 years of living here, we’ve finally knocked another big item off of the list…the floors!!!
The horrible white carpet that was in our eating area and living room is gone! I call it horrible because it was the worst possible flooring option for a family with a small child, dog, and two coffee-spilling adults. It always had stains and looked dingy.
We never even used our dining room table because we didn’t want to spill food on the white carpet. This flooring doesn’t just look better, it makes our home so much more functional and cohesive.
The living room is looking more put-together too! I’m not a fan of our brown furniture, but I feel like it’s all kind of jiving at the moment.
Yes, we are so pleased with the new floor…It feels so good when my home turns a corner, and feels like more of a true reflection of my style.

The new floor is a laminate product by Mohawk and the color is called “Toasted Chestnut”. It’s a great product that has a nice rustic texture to it. I also love the dark, but not too dark color that compliments the cool tones of the wall nicely.
For my local friends, Jimelle Flooring did a fabulous job with our new floors! We’re very impressed with the service and product that they provided us!
Have a great day!
gorgeous floors and everything else!!!!
Thank you so much, Christine! xo

Isn’t it, perfect? Thanks, Lisa! š
April! What a complete difference! I adore the new floors!!! Doesn’t it just make everything in your house feel like it’s coming together???
It really does, Jen! Thanks so much! xo
They look amazing! Especially underneath that West Elm rug! We’re house hunting now – and I think – WHYYYY would one ever put carpet (no less white carpet) in a dining area??? I’ll never know! Beautiful floors friend!
I know! It’s such an odd choice for flooring in an eating area! And, let’s be honest, that WE rug would look good over any flooring! xo Thanks for your sweet words, Chelsea!
Gorgeous home! What color paint is on your walls?
Thanks, Nitsa! The color is “Vapor Trails” by Benjamin Moore! š
The color looks so different in each room, so amazing what light can do! It’s a beautiful color. Where are those throw pillow and throw blankets from? I’m in love with your home!

It is crazy how much a paint color can change! š The pillows and throws are from Marshall’s/Home Goods. Thank you so much for your sweet words! š
Are you still pleased with your kitchen flooring? I’m looking at redoing our floors and wondering if you are still pleased with your choice. Thank you.
Yes, I am! š We’ve had them for aver a year and a half, and I’ve been very happy with them! They’ve withheld everything we’ve thrown at them.

Hi, I just purchased these floors. How are they doing in your kitchen so far (I read the comment above)? I want it in my kitchen and my laundry room so bad and we bought enough for them but Iām so nervous about water ruining it. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Hi Stacey! So far so good! We’ve had them for years now, and they’re still going strong!
