The Living Room Flooring




When we bought the house, the living room had pinkish wall-to-wall carpet and heavy pinch-pleated curtains under a heavy valance to match. During the mildew remediation, we discarded all the pink textiles. After it was gone, even with only plywood subfloor under our feet, the room looked ten times better.

Underneath the pink carpet, in a path leading from the front door to the kitchen, we found some kind of sheet flooring. Probably put there to withstand the most heavily trafficked area of the house. It looks like it may have had a colorful confetti-esque design which faded from age.

I have begun to remove the pink floral wallpaper from the entryway walls. The vinyl top layer stripped off pretty easily, but the fuzzy backing is still waiting for me to get back to it.

A neat thing about the coat closet is the switch in the doorframe to automatically turn on the light when you open the door.
