We ripped up that ugly ol' carpet yesterday. I think that's going to make a big difference in the overall look and feel of the place. Still trying to decide exactly what we're going to do with the floor now - we were going to put hardwood floors in (or at least lightweight waterproof laminate that looks like hardwood floor). But I saw this picture on Pinterest that I wanna try first. I know it won't look exactly like that, but that will serve as my inspiration. I'll probably sketch a design out on some cardboard, then trace around that directly onto the floor and then paint. I don't know, we'll see! But here are some pics of our project day yesterday. We took shifts - I started then got tired, so Brannon finished it up with his strong muscles...

Looks like you have done a super job.I am working on a carpet project also. How did you handle the steps? How were you able to cut the old carpet so close where cabinets sit on it? I've tried every kind of knife and box cutter I can find. So far nothing works very well. I intend to put down interlocking vinyl flooring (like laminate wood).
