As you can see, the floor is all done. It took 2 guys from 8:30am until 4:30pm and I love it. It actually makes me like my place all over again!!!

 

looks real nice man

 

Yeah!N I'm digging it! Very nice. Do you have pics of what it was before?

 

 

wow..that laminate flooring is WAYYYYYYY more pimp than the carpet!!! Awesome upgrade! How much did that run you? We are looking to do that to our basement and kitchen in the next month or so...did you do it yourself?

 

Nice work... Looks wayyy better.

 

The laminate was on sale at Menards for 41.99 a box (I bought 20, but returned 2), and I bought the quarter round and acoustic padding for $1265, but since I returned 2 boxes it was really $1165. It was $550 for the install and I gave each of the guys $20 a piece to get lunch.

Grand total $1755-ish

 

looks great. What's the square footage of the area you did?

 

A little more then 370 sq ft.

 

looks really good. I cant wait to get rid of my carpet and put in hardwood.

edit: i love the paintings behind the sofa. i need to put up some art on my walls. my walls are bare.

 

Nicky the floor looks great! BTW, where did you get the TV stand/bench from? Dania like the lights?

 

Yep....Dania Furniture. Its my favorite furniture place in our area!

 

Expensive though, you baller

 

Looks amazing.

 

For certain things (bedroom and dining room sets)....yes. That tv stand was $269....the lamps were $69 a piece. Those are walmart/target prices.

 

good stuff man...you are my current inspiration for our kitchen!

 

Looks really good. I guess you didn't need the extra boxes afterall.

So where did you find the installers? Your original quotes were WAY over that and you were considering installing yourself.

Also - where did you get that mantel? I'm looking for something similar.

Edit: I saw your post on where the guys came from. Great deal. Still curious about the matel.

 

I dig it. Nice upgrade!

 

The mantel was in the place when I bought it. BUT....I have seen similar ones all over the place.

 

Very nice.

 

wow it makes the place look sooo much bigger, i like the couch..where did you get it?

 

night and day difference

 

Damn looks good - you don't mess around do you? You post that you want laminate floors and a few days later it's all done

 

Wickes Furniture...I bought the couch for $2,000 and got the ottoman free.

 

Looks great. How are the acoustics with it?

 

Its a little "echoy", but its not bad. The guy below me says he can't hear anything....so I guess that blue padding is good for blocking sound transmission....

 

nice and cozy. can i move in?
