Today's You Capture is cold. Rather appropriate considering this morning was the coldest so far this winter season. It was a frigid 10 below at 7 this morning. It has warmed up 25 degrees today to a balmy high of 15. I am seriously over the snow and the cold. A heat wave is on the way though. And with the upcoming 40 degree days, we will also having flooding from all the snow that will surely melt. Is it summer yet?
One of the first projects we tackled for Operation Making a House a Home was the floors in the entry way and den. We wanted a cohesive look throughout most of the main floor. We initially thought we wanted it throughout, but after living here for a month or so, we decided to leave carpet in the family room. The hardwood in the kitchen and dining room was fairly new. We were able to match it easily with the identical flooring that was used. We found the floor (MoHawk Golden Oak) at out local flooring store. The installers did a fabulous job at feathering it in with the existing. Below is a photo of the very dated entryway tile. It was in great condition, but very indicative of the early '90s. To the right is the den that had a newer yet very light colored carpet. Not our style, nor is it conducive to life with kids and a dog. We did the demo ourselves, but left installation to the professionals. Here is a shot of the foyer after: It's hard to tell
We'll almost certainly have flooding here too. Snow... water... mud... then summer. It'll come!
