Lived here 13 yrs. Have always had carpets: even the owners before us have always had carpets. Recently I decided after quite some time of thinking of it started tearing up the carpets. The hardwood floors need some tlc. I just may take all I have read and seen in this blog into some serious thinking and then doing. Love the bedroom floor pic (white) looks rustic...love it!

Often the tiles are plain white or have very terrible colors around here (Germany) ... and I am wondering if it would be possible to paint them instead of ripping them out and putting new ones in ... Have you ever heard or read about something like that?<br /><br />(ulli-xox [at] web [dot] deUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686871895731801556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329893855401740913.post-82496245148282297372012-01-31T09:39:33.303-08:002012-01-31T09:39:33.303-08:00There'd be no way I'd consider doing this ...There'd be no way I'd consider doing this in my house. We didn't even know we had any until we were told by our son's pediatrician that all carpeting in the house had to go (severe allergies & asthma). <br /><br />Surprise! Surprise! Under the carpeting was 1" honey colored oak hardwood. Here we thought we were going to have to put in a sub-floor & laminate. The boys and I went to Grammy & Granpa's for a long weekend and my husband refinished the entire upstairs (3 bedrooms, living room and dining room). After all that work, he's become a little possessive of the hardwood floors. I'd have to get a divorce first and after 22 years, he's just about trained! <br /><br />=DTrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171277796366308712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329893855401740913.post-41214600134297058672012-01-30T13:49:37.509-08:002012-01-30T13:49:37.509-08:00Love the look but I agree with most of the other c...Love the look but I agree with most of the other comments above... it is a very big step to take against hardwood floors.

Yes, they were gorgeous: painted stark white with a stunning blue chinoiserie pattern repeated on the floor. Our dining room table was a polished nickel base with a clear glass top...he was a bit ahead of his time.<br /><br />The bad part? We had a flooding issue and the floor warped in the corner. We never fixed that one spot because it wasn't worth it to strip the whole darn thing and redo the floors. My house now is all hardwood floors stained a dark walnut...and I'm not messing with them!shuzluvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014961322037779576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329893855401740913.post-6226037743171079092012-01-26T13:03:03.549-08:002012-01-26T13:03:03.549-08:00My husband would never go for this idea either!
