I am nearing the finish line...next Tuesday, May 29th, we get our laminate floors installed. It may take two days... Hopefully I will have the rest of the prep work, packing and measurements finalized so we can put everything back without much trouble...
The biggest undertaking was breaking down my four bookcases and twining up all my books and moving it all to our garage. Reminded me of when we moved in....It was such a chore it really made me question my love for my books...
We have to remove everything off the tops of all our furniture, empty out all the heavy furniture, unplug all the electrical in the entertainment center, TV stands and computer desks, and stash those items in closets, garage and maybe out on our patio....WHAT A PAIN!

I had planned on boarding Izzy while the house is all torn apart, but today I found out they are booked solid until next Thursday due to the Memorial Day holiday... so she may have to be crated and walked every three hours like we did when we had the patio pavers put in...more work for me! My hubby pulled his back muscle while helping, so he is unable to help. I need him rested up for Monday night when we dissemble the dresser and remove all the electrical equipment from the computer desk and the entertainment center...
Here is a picture of our tile leading into our living room carpet...soon to be removed and laminate flooring replacing it...
We are having a neighborhood Memorial Day BBQ & Potluck tomorrow...we completed getting the front of the house trim, shutters and the decorative wrought iron fencing on our front patio painted; a storage rack installed on the ceiling of the garage for our bins of holiday stuff...so this celebration will also mark the half way point for all our projects. We also promised the neighbors we'd have them over to see the completed patio pavers project. I am so looking forward to a day of rest and relaxation before diving back in to the last four days to put this last big project to bed!
This is the sample color of the laminate flooring we are having installed: I think it is a nice warm color....we are planning on having the grain go into to the room rather than horizontal to the tile as it shows in this picture below...I hope it looks OK being our tile is set on the diagonal....
This is the hallway leading into our office where we will also replace the carpeting to laminate wooden flooring: (Pardon the mess, the entire house is torn apart...)
My bookcases used to be lined up in the hallway leading into the den...I have big plans for the den....despite the limited furniture placement, I am going to change the colors from blue to cranberry and will be eliminating as much of the clutter as I possibly can...
The new flooring will also replace the carpet in the master bedroom...
(The covered stool on the side of the bed is how Izzy hops up to sleep on her pink blanket....)
And last but not least, our guest bedroom carpet will go as well, replacing it with the laminate...
I hope I like laminate floors...everyone tells me I will...I will miss the warmth of the carpeting in the winter...but guess we will be wearing our shoes a lot more inside the house. I better! This has been a huge, time consuming project and I will be SO HAPPY WHEN IT IS OVER!

OH, Donna, this sounds incredibly complicated. I am so happy that the end is in sight, the light at the end of the tunnel, or whatever makes you feel it's almost over. Yikes! Thanks for the update. I knew you must be inundated... :-)
I like the color! It's going to look great!
