Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by to see our progress on the basement laundry room. I can say that it is coming along nicely and I am getting excited about getting it finished.
The first portion of the room that we tackled was the floor. I had read about a peel and stick floor from one of my favorite blogs, Thistlewood Farms in her Butler's Pantry and I loved the look. We purchased the tiles from Lowe's Home Improvement.
Here is the first tile going down. The most challenging part of this process was just making sure that we were starting dead center. You can see that hubby drew "chalk" lines to ensure that he was not going to have to pull out his luscious hair (that most men his age are envious of... HA!) once he reached the side of the room. He did a great job and there was no need to pull any hair.
We decided to go with Karianne's same look from her Butler's Pantry. The alternating tiles amp up the look of quality in the room. I really like it.
The areas that needed less than a full tile were easy to conquer as well. He just took an x-acto knife and scored the tile where he needed it cut. Very simple indeed!
Harley Dent was checking the new floor out. There she is in the lower right hand corner... She's always where her "Mom" is...
The door on the left goes to my studio, the door on the right is to our daughter's bedroom/guest bedroom. The stairs are behind the wall on the left and the bathroom door is not seen but is located on the left next to the wall. This picture was taken before hubby made the cuts to the odd piece there by the wall.
What do you think of our floor? If you have the need for a new floor, this is an inexpensive and simple alternative. And I feel the results take the floor up a notch.
Stay tuned for more updates as the room is coming along.
xoxo,
Tracy
