Side Entry Update: Flooring is in!

The slate vinyl flooring has been installed by our contractor Barry earlier in the week. It looks really nice! This is a moment that has been very long awaited.

This is Allure Trafficmaster. It's really durable and water resistent and looks really smooth. It was laid down right over the existing torn up vinyl tiles and you can't tell! It looks like it's the 1st flooring layer.

Side Entry as it is today. It has come a VERY long way. Right now we are finishing up the priming & the ceiling will be stippled and painted. The door is ready to be painted and all the hardware has been stripped and is ready to go back on the door. It's very close to being ready for the color to go on the walls!

Side Entry in 2008 right after we bought the house and tore out the plastic tile. [insert scream here]

I decided this dark, narrow space needs a nice light cheerful color to compliment it's amazing remodel. I wanted it to feel warm and inviting very unlike it did not so long ago...so I've decided on a color by Benjamin Moore called "Greenmount Silk" which is the furthest color to the right. It's a very soft golden cream.
