This is a project that I've wanted to tackle since we moved into our home (16 years ago!). Our dining and living rooms both had sad grey wall to wall carpeting, that only got worse as the years went on.
Here's the living room before. We put area rugs in each of the rooms to try and down play the hideous carpeting.
Here's the living room after. We're still playing around with furniture placement so it's not finished but I'm LOVING the new floors!
I never wanted to get new carpeting because I only wanted wood floors. This is a good shot of how the living room adjoins the foyer and the family room.
The floors had to acclimate to our home for a week before they could be installed. Willow is helping. We had to empty out the rooms of all small furniture and decor.
Our installer worked so quickly that I barely had time to snap some "in progress" photos.
They match the kitchen floors pretty well!

Looks so good. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
Nice new wooden floors! Enjoy!
I like rugs, especially if they're of persian quality or the like.
I know your loving the wood. I don't like carpet either, never feel like it's clean. Love wood! Your's looks marvelous. I wish to do this after getting wall papper down what a mess that's going to be.
Looks so good!
The new wood floors look great Heather. It's so much easier to take care of and I know you will love it!
I love it!
We are planning a kitchen remodel for 2022! A new floor is in the plan for the kitchen. A BIG PROJECT!
In the mean time we have been working a few other easier projects, I hope to share soon on the blog.
Love, Carla
P.S. A chin rub for the kitties.

The new floors look fabulous...enjoy! The color is great and now your area rugs really stand out. We have hardwood in the foyer, dining room, kitchen, living room in our apartment. We could not have hardwood in the bedrooms ( what I wanted ) because we are on the second floor and our community was worried about a noise issue. Which I don't understand as we have tile in the bathrooms. Oh, well....we get a "refresh" on our place in 10 years and maybe by then I can get hardwood in the bedrooms. So...you waited awhile...enjoy!
Looks 100% better. Very nice.
Your new floors look lovely and it's great it was all installed so quick! :)
Hope you had a great weekend :) We enjoyed the warmer weather which was good as it's another cold spring day today!

I love your dining room and living room. It looks beautiful, Heather :)
Wow. They look absolutely AMAZING
It looks nice. Wood floors always look pretty but to me they seem harder to keep clean as dust/cat hair (in our house) rapidly accumulates.
HI Heather,
Love the new flooring. What a difference! It looks amazing! Enjoy!
What's next on the project list ;0) laura
That looks fantastic. The new floors really brighten up the space.
Those look so lovely! We have been trying to replace all our wall to wall carpeting with other flooring this past year or two also and it makes such a huge difference. Much easier to keep clean too!
