Saying Goodbye to 17 year old flooring

Saying Goodbye to 17-year-old flooring and replacing it with Raintree’s Waterproof wood Flooring in my Den, Bedrooms and Game Room.

*This blog post was sponsored by Twenty & Oak.  All opinions and ideas are 100% mine.

Well, after 17 years I am finally getting the carpet and tile replaced in my downstairs living area and bedrooms! This is one goodbye I will not be shedding tears of sadness, more like happy tears.  I can’t wait to share the entire experience with you! I’m looking forward to sharing my vision, before and afters, the installation, and the big reveal.

My vision and selecting  flooring choices

The carpet and tile that I am replacing are original from when we built the house 17 years ago. It’s time for a fresh and updated look for my spaces.  I know that my new flooring has to not only look good but more importantly be functional and durable for my active household.  My needs are flooring that is kid-friendly, pet-friendly, and ‘kids who don’t dry off after using pool’ friendly. Another goal was to have consistent flooring throughout that flows better.

Currently, I have 3 different carpet colors ( in kids bedroom, hall and den)  and the black and white checkered tile in the game room. After doing some research on Twenty & Oaks website I selected Raintree waterproof hardwood flooring. These are some of the spaces that I will be transforming with  Raintree’s Waterproof wood Flooring.

Of course, my new Raintree floors are the catalyst for a few good room makeovers which I will share in more detail during this flooring journey. Here are a few of my design boards for some of the spaces.

I am creating three different looks using the same flooring and it makes my decorating heart so happy. Getting inspired and coming to a decision was easier then I thought with tons of inspiring ideas and the online quiz that you can take on the Twenty & Oak website. I also got inspired on Twenty & Oaks Pinterest board here.  There are tons of great inspiration photos and ideas.

On-Line Floor Genius

The Twenty & Oak ‘s website features so many gorgeous and durable flooring options such as hardwood, laminate, waterproof, luxury vinyl, and rubber fitness flooring.  In addition to an extensive product list, the website also shares education and inspiration to help you when looking for new flooring. One tool on the Twenty & Oak website that really helps narrow down the decision is called the Floor Genius. It’s basically an online quiz that will help make recommendations based on how you respond to the 5 basic questions.

From there you will be prompted to enter your zip code and a few basic questions on space, style, lifestyle, and people living in your home. When you are finished, enter your email address and all the flooring recommendations will be sent to you. They will also appear right on the screen. I go through all steps for you in the video below.

Next steps

In addition to receiving my Raintree waterproof hardwood samples, Twenty & Oak will also refer you to a retailer in your area.  Now that I got my inspiration and samples, it’s time to make a decision to select my product. I was referred to Albright’s Flooring a trusted Twenty & Oak retailer from the Twenty & Oak website to make my final selection.

I can’t wait to share the samples I ordered and my experience with my Twenty & Oak dealer Albrights Flooring to narrow down my decision. Installation starts next week, and I can.not.wait!
