An easy solution to a flooring dilemma

March 13, 2008 in Decorating,Flooring with 4 Comments

I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned this, but the entire second floor of my home is right now nothing more than an overlarge attic. Nothing lives up there, outside of a spider plant, a succulent, an aloe plant, and some parsley, and they are only segregated from the rest of the house because our cats have a fondness for makeshift salads. This barren wasteland of a level will eventually become a full bath and two rooms for children, which means that between now and then I get to pick out all manner of fanciful things with which to cover floors and walls and windows.

It’s a kit, so it’s DIY friendly!

If I remember myself correctly, I would have been ga-ga for solid wood puzzle flooring as a kid. For the grownups out there, it’s easy to install, as the company that produces it sends it to the buyer as a pre-measured kit. According to the site, the polyurethane and aluminum oxide finish is one of the most wear resistant hardwood finishes you’ll find anywhere. Best of all, the wood is sourced from Certified Managed Forests, meaning that the wood used to manufacture each puzzle floor will be replaced by new trees.

    I looooove it, Jennie! It looks like there’s only two drawers in that staircase, but I’d want to have drawers all the way up.
