So here are some pictures of the whole process
This is a pic of all the different layers
Here is a pic of the big mess I made when I pulled up the fist two layers
This was the "dining"half. More peel n stick tiles. We thought hard wood was under this.
This was the "kitchen" half.
Eventually we did find hard wood under the "dining" half. But first was another layer of flooring
After 4 layers of flooring on the "dining" half and putting down floating vinyl on the kitchen half, we end up with this :)
This is the view from my living room into my kitchen. I love the new floors.
The hardwood is about 50 yrs old. It is not perfect but it matches with the rest of the wood floors of the house and I love it!
We have new base board also. We have been without for about two years now :)
So there ya go! That was one less big project to get done :) Oh I wanted to add all this whole project cost about $350. Not to bad for new floors I think!
It looks beautiful!!! I love our hardwood floor but they could use to be refinished...someday..unless you want to head down my way and help me :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy! Our really need a refinishing too but that is not a project I want to take on. We ill just enjoy their old look lol :)
DeleteLooks great! Love the older hardwood floors- we have several areas in our house with those too!

DeleteGreat job! It looks great!! We're doing the same thing in the spring! I can't wait!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It really does totaly improve the whole look of the kitchen!
DeleteGreat! I bet you can get a professional to redo all the floors in the house for about 1500.00 so start saving. This is not something I would do myself.
ReplyDeleteI think we will just prolly live with them the way they are. Even though it may not be a huge expense to have the floors redone it would be really inconvient. We have them through the entire main floor and will have to move out to have them refinished.
DeleteOh, it looks great! You guys did an awesome job. And saved tons of money doing it yourself too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lena!
