Carpet + dogs = hell. If you are a pet owner, it is probably in your best interest to have the least amount of carpet possible in your home. I learned this the hard way. When we bought our house back in 2009, we were newlyweds, I was newly graduated and unemployed. Therefore, we opted for carpet instead of wood floors in our house because it was the cheaper of the two options. Over the past 3 years, our carpet has become stained/destroyed thanks to the various bodily fluids of our two dogs. Now, my dreams have finally come true...we were able to rip out all the nasty carpet and replace it with wood floors.
This was not an easy journey. My house has been a disaster area for about two weeks and it is still not completely put back together. Let's start from the beginning...
This is what your garage looks like when you are replacing the flooring in your house. Goodbye nasty carpet!
Tearing up the evil carpet was quite enjoyable actually :)
Our kitchen was the "staging" area for all of the furniture we had to move out of the way while the wood floors were being installed.
Our bedroom was the first room to be completed.
Since we had to move all of our bedroom furniture out of the room anyway, we decided to get new bedroom furniture as well. We have been wanting to get a king-sized bed for a while now, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity!
We haven't received our new bedding yet...it will be arriving from Pottery Barn soon :)
All the floors were finally done and we started putting the furniture back in place.
We are currently working on getting area rugs for all of the rooms with our new floors, but we did manage to find one for the dining room already.
Loving my new floors so much!
