new and improved

Here are the pics from the home improvement!

Brian and Rob worked 40+ hours from Friday morning through Sunday evening and the floors look great. I spent the following week dusting everything and vacuuming at least twice a day...the dust never seemed to settle!

Before, we had carpet in the living room, hallway and dog room and there was tile pattern laminate in the kitchen. We looked at flooring, flooring, and more flooring and finally decided on the Heirloom Hickory Hardwood Laminate from Armstrong. The finish looked the most like real hardwoods and it is really durable with the dogs (and daily living). We were a little concerned about the floors blending with the cabinets, but the end result is better that I could ever imagine. I can't believe we waited this long to replace our floors! What a difference!
