Flooring dilemma: Install new floors after closet system?
Comments (5)@ Patricia Thanks, that’s helpful. I see that Pax attaches to the wall but my thinking was that it still rests on the floor, I think? With that in mind, if we install the closet system before the floor, my thinking was that we would not install new floor under the closet boxes. - it’d just be bare. Is that considered acceptable? We’re not looking to resell, just don’t want to mess things up....See MoreFlooring Dilemma
Comments (19)Looks like you've been fighting this space for a long time, but I think if you want it to look nice, you need to work with it for what it is, and it will "show" much better when it comes time to sell. Take away the console table entirely. Is it really necessary to have that dining table where it is? If so, get a square glass one and fascinating modern chairs. If you don't need a dining area there, get deep lounge chairs and a cocktail table. Whichever, get rid of the mirror and put very large art there. I would get a curved lush sofa -- even serpentine -- to embrace the piano area and add plants -- maybe even a tree. I'd get a great floor lamp for the piano. I'd put down a rug to define the piano area. I personally would want to change the front door to natural wood and get a stunning foyer light. No round entry rug. After getting rid of the console table I'd probably take away that one art piece and run a gallery of large framed photos down the wall. It's meant to be a grand entry and lounge. Silly, okay, but it's never going to be a family room. Presumably there are other places to eat meals and watch TV?...See MoreBathroom Floor Dilemma
Comments (8)Make the decision whether you want the basement bath to have the same flooring as the rest of the basement. You don't need to pick the flooring now. If you want the same flooring, then you should follow the advice above and just put in something cheap that you will plan to rip out when you do the rest of the basement. Maybe even a remnant of sheet vinyl would work. If you want different flooring, then get what you want for the bath. But do heed the advice about not getting to wood-look floors next to each other that are not the same. I would therefore avoid wood-look in the bath since you are leaning that direction for the rest of the basement....See MoreFlooring dilemma for upper level
