Laminate wood flooring in living room

 continued project with laminate wood flooring in living room
 I chose oak, as much as I would have loved to get the walnut like I had at the old house, this home has lovely old solid oak flooring down the front hallway and 2 bedrooms, and the stairs to upper bedrooms, so I stuck with oak to match, and it really does match pretty darn close 
My apologies for not taking photos during the process, it was a job I wanted done rather quickly the next day so I totally forgot to have my daughter snap photos as it was being laid down!
so there ya have it, the new flooring goes all the way over to the front door and ties into the hallway perfectly, do I love it? oh yes I certainly do, and the kids do as well, they have been sliding around all day in their sock feet!
as you can see, the baseboard trim is not back up yet, it's still down in the basement out of the way, and you can see I stopped at the entryway into the kitchen area where I just redid that flooring with those laminated 12x12 inch square peel and stick tiles, when we rebuild kitchen cabinets, this flooring will also go in there.
We only just started bringing the furniture back into the room enough that we can have seating LOL
I need to get the double bookcase shelves put back in place too, the bookcase was built by my gorgeous husband :) I love it!!
and do you remember that old ugly wing back chair? Well there is the covering I ordered for it, doesn't it look like a whole new chair, for around $35 I got the chair and ottoman coverings!!! woot woot happy camper I am, and yes the covering fits the chair perfectly, it just needs pulled and tucked in properly, ok well I will try to remember to take better photos next time when I am working on a project for you all.
Until next time . . .
