Fake your wood floors...again!


Can you see where the fake wood meets the real wood?


Just follow the arrow. There is a bit of a drop off, so I still need to buy a reducer thingy to kinda level it off so everyone's not tripping. My husband said, "Wow, it looks much nicer than I anticipated!" I keep reminding him it's a temporary solution for now. He likes it. For the how to...see this post on How to Fake your wood floors.

Has anyone else ripped up their nasty carpet and faked a wood floor or painted the subfloor?

    I'm impressed too. It looks great! I painted my subfloor, but not to look like wood. Just a temporary solution until we redo the kitchen. http://tinyhomestead.blogspot.com/2009/02/update-kitchen-floor-still-shiny.html

    That turned out fantastic! Looks so much lighter and brighter now. Couldn't tell where it ended without the help of your little arrows!

    You are one crazy-home-makeover-diva. My domestic hero, in fact. The floor looks amazing!

    It looks great Kristi! Can I ask what color of teal is that you used on your coffee table and mirror? My apologies if you've already posted, I don't recall. :)

    We are totally considering this now that we have seen you do it, twice!

    We will have to rename you the fake wood floor whisperer!
