Getting New Bedroom Flooring....Yes!!

[Marilyn]

I finally just ask Rex point blank this morning if I could put engineered hardwood flooring in our bedroom. And he said YES!!! It's real hardwood on the surface that clips together and installs like laminate. It's really pretty and should hold up very well in a bedroom. Our carpet needs changing so badly and I really don't want to put carpet back. I told him that I'd install it and do the quarter round trim, but I would probably need some help with the thresholds. There are two doors where we currently transition from tile to carpet, so would need a transition threshold at these points.

He said, that he thought it would look nice!! YES!! finally. He also said that of course he would help me install it. I want to use lots of sealer between each plank to make it more moisture resistant. This is what is done when it's installed in wet areas like kitchens, so I want to do this on the whole floor due to the pups.

It will be sometime after the first of the year before we will have time to do this, but I'm doing it soon before he forgets that he agreed. I'm really excited!!!!!

I really like this floor. We'll be getting it from Lowe's though probably, and I'm flexible on manufacturer, but this is the look I'm going for. Hand scraped walnut would go well with the furnishings and wall color, and I believe with transition will with my ceramic tiles. Will need a sample to know for sure. Our price would be much less that this website shows.

Our carpet is so bad in this room. It has to goooooo!!!

It's going to be beautiful Marilyn!!! Here in Indiana...I would rather have carpet in the bedrooms...love getting out of bed to nice warm carpet in the wintertime. BUT.....I sure would like to have it in the rest of the house. Once you get it done...you have got to share pictures.

Marilyn, that floor is gorgeous. I looked for a month before I found my flooring. I would recommend that you look at a whole room of the hand scraped flooring though. That's what I thought I wanted but when I saw it in my friends whole house, I didn't like the waviness, especially in the daylight. It's hard to explain, but all I could see was waves across the floor. Now she loves it, but I did not and I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't seen it in her house.
