A Concrete Jungle

No, this post is not in reference to New York nor Alicia Keys. Instead, it's about Olive.


Remember when she was cute?! And piddling on the floor was clean-able? Yes, well, she's still cute, mostly. However, I am so over her using my expensive carpet as a pee pad. Okay, to be honest... it's been a while since she's been a bad doggie. She's trained now. But my carpet... has to go!

We were definitely planning on changing it out sooner or later, but spending some time in that room recently, painting, made us make-up our minds on SOONER rather than later.

The husband decided to pull all of the carpet yesterday evening while I was off getting my hairs cut.


Wait. This post is about the formals.

Here are some pics of that space now.


 


Yes... all those white spots on the walls were from my love of hanging any and everything several times. :) We are going to get the paint out and move right along.

We've figured our formals are about 350 square feet all together. Those two pieces of wood flooring might not be enough, now that I see the pictures.

I kid, I kid. We have to buy lots of flooring. Those are just my sample pieces. We are looking into Lumber Liquidators - with Marcos installing the floors himself. We had a third sample we wanted to look at; however, it's being mailed to us.


I am really leaning towards the one on the left. It's lighter than our table, but has very similar tones. It also goes well with our tile (a huge must!).

So, the husband got the ball rolling and we are going to have to move fast. I am not a fan of concrete floors, my formal's furniture in the hallway or the loud echo I get when I scream.

Anyone want to come help Marcos float these babies?!
Anyone?
