I'm SOO happy with the new floors (even more so because they were installed for us!) we still have a little more trimwork to do and add a nice green photo to the bathroom, but the house feel so ::clean::

thanks!
sitting on the floor in shorts while working on the trim was def. an odd feeling!

I'm very impressed, although to be honest, my opinion means nothing since I don't know anything about home redecorating.

It looks nice though, definitely!

hey, you don't have to know anything about it to see the horror of the BEFORE!

Wow! You guys did a really great job. You must be soooo happy. :)

thanks! The house just seems like a different place when you walk in the door! (Sammy doesn't really like the new foyer floor because his feet sound funny on it!)

The floor looks great. Definitely a big improvement from the before pictures. And I'm sure it was nice not having to deal with putting in it yourselves.

Thanks! We noticed that they were a bit sloppy on getting the flooring RIGHT to the edge of the wall, assuming that the trim would cover their shoddy work. However, I am VERY happy that you can't tell where the laminate pieces start/end, and the 'grout' lines are perfectly matched. That would have driven us CRAZY!

Wow! Everything looks amazing! I love that "coral" color (for lack of a better word) in the powder room. Love the big, square mirror in the other bath too.

thanks! in real life, the powder room is more like 'deep cantelope'

It all looks so great! Much, much better than what was there before.
