thank you! the red laundry room sounds beautiful! xshub went to the Laundromat for me during the brief period between our old washer breaking and the new one being delivered and it was a CULTURAL experience for him bc it was 100% Spanish speakers in there on top of the quarters etc. a little San Salvador it was.
The previous room had an old red floor and fake “persian” rugs to cover the places were the floor was splitting and peeling. I realzed when it was halfway painted that we have traded a red floor for red walls. However, I can’t express how great it looks. It completely changes the feel of the room and makes me want to spend time there.
The new floor will look like slate in tones of blue, grey, tan. It is something called LVT (luxury vinyl tile) and carries a lifetime warranty. (Don’t ask whose lifetime). In any case, it is very tough and they are doing a heck of a job with new undelayment throughout. They had an expert talking about floors on Fox & Friends this AM and he said that if you couldn’t have engineered hardwood, a product like this is your best bet, especially if it is exposed to water.
This floor is extending through 4 rooms (laundry room, kitchen, 1/2 bath, and front entry hall) and three closets. New underlayment and leveling throughout. It’s costing a fortune and is highly disruptive!
I’m sitting here with my mouth agape about a husband going to the laundromat for the family.
