I know you are on pins and needles waiting for me to tell you about my big unfinished project! It's my ....drum roll...... Kitchen floors! We have known since we bought the house we were going to replace the floors. There was never any question, it was a matter of when!
I knew I wanted hardwood floors, should be easy. Not so much. They needed to match the existing wood floor in the entry, dining room and hall since they would be next to each other for about 4 feet.
Have you ever tried to match 13 year old floors? So after lots of "not quites", I finally found "close enough". The perfect long weekend was coming up (that would have been Labor Day '09), to install the floors. I assumed the store would have them in stock, so I waited until the middle of the week to place my order, only to find out it would take 10 days to get them in stock! Oh well, no floors for me.
So, here it is almost February and still no floors. But I have made a decision. I am not going with hardwood, I am going with......FAKE WOOD! I found a blog, Pink and Polka Dot, and she did her floors with peel and stick vinyl planks from Lowe's. They look fabulous! I ran to Lowe's and bought some planks, laid them out, and they match my existing floors to a tee!! The plan is to put them down over President's Day weekend. I'll post pics when we are finished.
I can't believe I made a DECISION!!! Hopefully I won't change my mind again.
