You know what it’s like when you decide to start a project but realize it kinda opens a can of worms?! Well I was finally ready to pull up the carpet in the front room (14′ x 22′). Wellllll if I was going to change out the flooring I thought I should lighten my gray walls. The flooring was going to be darker than the beige carpet so I wanted to lighten up the room a bit. The old/darker color is Behr Fashion Gray – the new/lighter color is Behr Natural Gray. So first things first. Paint!

Side note: I do love the new lids! They come with their own pour spout!

So painting and ripping up carpet had to be done in stages. I pulled up carpet and painted one side at a time, moving all my furniture to the other side of the room.

My new flooring – 18 cases – is Pergo Outlast Vintage Tobacco Oak from Home Depot. It already had the underlayment attached! Love! Final pictures will probably come when I finish the fireplace – everything is always “in progress”! LOL
