Anyways, the house is currently owned by someone who smokes. My husband and I don't smoke, so we noticed the smell right away. The plan is to rip up the carpet as soon as we get the keys because it seems to be the number on thing that holds in the smell. This decision has caused me to go in search of some cheap flooring ideas.
I stumbled onto this site and my life was changed! This site tells how they made their plywood flooring look like this:
Look at those pictures!!
I showed them to my in laws yesterday and they didn't believe me that those floors are plywood. It seemed to get my father in law really excited, my mother in law asked him, "Are we going to do these to our floors now?"
So now the plan is to:
- Rip up the carpet
- Put down plywood floors in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and small hallway between bedrooms. Possibly the bathroom as well, but I'm not too sold on that one.
- Re-Carpet the bedrooms
- Somewhere in all of that, possibly before and possibly after, we're going to paint.
- Enjoy!
I'm pretty excited! I look forward to getting started. Well mostly, I look forward to the finished product! Now... to pick out the stain that I want!
