Beach Cottage Flooring
The journey began in January 2012…planning, research and purchasing of plywood. If you’re a regular reader then you may recall that our main beach cottage renovation this year was going to be new flooring. Well, I’m excited to share that I’m currently sitting in my new library/office which has a delightfully beautiful whitewashed, shabby cottage wood floor.
We previously had horribly stretched, soiled and old brown carpet in our home. I got the wild idea to rip it out and replace it with plywood. Surprisingly there were a ton of plywood flooring how-to’s on the Internet. After months of whining over the condition of the carpet I finally talked my hubby into the idea. How did I get him to change his mind? I shared photos and how much it would cost in comparison to other flooring options. $800.00 for over 800 square feet of flooring is what really sold it!
So, the library/office is finished and is standing up very well. We will be digging into the next room in the next week or so (keeping fingers and toes crossed).
