When we moved into our home there was a long list of things to update and a short list of things to update IMMEDIATELY! Our side entry floor below just about topped the list. It's the only vinyl flooring in the house that resembles El Paso Cantina restaurant circa 1972, a very odd and curious choice for a colonial home. For our 2011 Christmas gift, my dad bought us oak floors from Lumber Liquidators for our kitchen (see kitchen floor post) and side entry that perfectly matched the original oak throughout the first level. He even installed it, with a little help from hubby, and he did a beautiful job!
BEFORE: UGH!
DURING:
AFTER:
Aren't they gorgeous?!!!! They are not this bright or golden in person, warm overhead lighting. I just had to brag on my dad. He worked tirelessly on them and it really paid off. Plus, we discovered that our stairs leading to the second level are oak as well, but that is a HUGE project for another time.
Now to change that unsightly screen door!
Check back for updates.
