New Floors!

[shais_mom]

AHHH someone else who had carpet in their kitchen! Gross! Ours left a couple months after we moved in. Put in Maple colored laminate. Dogs love it on hot days... or after a walk... they come in here a stretch out to cool their bellies, especially Bunny.

Your floors look great!! Much improved.

now I had linoleum in my kitchen and my parents insisted on laying their old carpet in my kitchen to keep it warmer.
I don't like it at all other than the tile/linoleum/etc would be hard for Keegan and her hips to get used too now.
My mom has carpet in her kitchen and so does my grandma. I don't get it. Something hard would be so much easier to clean!

When we moved in here, there was white carpet in the living room and straight on through to the kitchen/dining area. Grossed me out. Needless to say, the white carpet wasnt REALLY white anymore in the kitchen...

Watching the pups play on the laminate is hilarious. We throw balls into the kitchen from LR and they run and slide to get them... sometimes right into the sliding door. There's a rug right in front of the door, so that kind of helps to stop them before the door.

One thing about laminate... Definitely hurts the feet if you cook for a while standing on it. I have a rug in front of the sink and I'll usually cook with slippers or flops on, so my feet dont hurt as bad. Our laminate is right over a concrete slab though.. so that could have an affect.

I also replaced all of my carpeting with Pergo. Only the kitchen and cat room have vinyl.

I'm always picking up dust bunnies-some as big as baseballs! But the house is cleaner and smells better. I use a Quick-up vacuum or a dust mop a couple of times a week, and damp mop once a week with a Swiffer type mop.

The dogs got used to it pretty quickly. The cats still slide around when they try a quick take-off

Mine has a few spots where the top layer is lifting. I suspect either dog drool or cat pee that sat on the surface too long. I'm always checking for wet spots now.

Your floors look so nice. Good job

Nice job, the new floors look great!

Keeping Bon's nails on the short side will help him get a bit of traction on the new floors.
