The Before - Big Changes Coming
Why We Chose Laminate Flooring For Our Home
How The Installation Process Works
What The New Floors Are Like To Live With

This was the before. Not awful as far as the eye could see, but the carpeting was in really bad shape so I was hiding it with a large rug.

Now...no hiding! We can't bring ourselves to put a rug in here yet, because we love the laminate floors so much! They are so easy to keep clean and make our home feel so much bigger! We are so happy with the finish we chose too, which is Mohawk Laminate Rare Vintage Knotted Chestnut.

This is the before of the kitchen and dining area. The two different types of floor drove us a little crazy, and the tone of the wood wasn't our favorite either. The hardwood floor in the dining area was badly damaged and the tiles in the kitchen were very hard to keep clean.

Now, there is a nice cohesive look in here, which makes the kitchen and dining room feel like one nice open space.

Off of the kitchen area, we have a small breakfast nook that we use as an office/homework space. We just love that it feels like part of the kitchen too! Our kiddos can work on their homework while we cook in the kitchen, and the whole family can hang together. Since having the new floors installed, I have noticed a decrease in my allergies too! Overall, we couldn't be more happy with the decision to have Mohawk Laminate Floors installed. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about replacing their floors! Feel free to ask me any questions you may have in the comment section below!
Today, you can enter to win an 8’x10′ SmartStrand rug! These rugs are amazing because you can choose which of their beautiful carpet style and colors you want to use, and Mohawk will bind the edges into a beautiful 8’x10′ rug for you! This is such a great way to customize a rug with amazing soil protection for your home.

We desperately need to re-do our bedroom floor. So after we put laminate floor on our bedroom floor, I would use the rug in there for a splash of color.
