The living room before the renovation
Previously, the main floor featured a combination of carpet, vinyl, and hardwood flooring. Jennifer decided that she wanted to replace these with a consistent flooring throughout the space.

The living room during the renovation process
To help with her flooring and design choices, Jennifer enlisted the help of her friend and noted designer Kristie Barnett (AKA "The Decorologist"). Kristie helped Jennifer look at different flooring options and make a decision that was right for her space and style.
The kitchen underfloor
Using a single flooring throughout the main floor meant replacing the vinyl in the kitchen. Jennifer had to be sure to choose a flooring that was versatile enough to look as good in the living room as in the kitchen. Here you can see the kitchen mid-renovation. It took Jennifer's contractor about a day to demo the floor throughout the main floor.
The finished living room!
The finished living room! With Kristie's help, Jennifer decided on Mullican Hillshire Engineered 5 Oak Suede. It's amazing how replacing carpet with with hardwood can really transform a space!
The awesome new flooring in the living room
The hardwood really gives the living room a clean and airy feel!
Another angle of the living room
Jennifer says it took her contractor about 2 days to install the 1,700 square feet of hardwood.
The finished kitchen!
The new flooring works beautifully throughout the entire space-including the kitchen! Jennifer says that having a consistent flooring throughout the main floor gives the home a cohesive look which helps the space seem larger and more open!
The floor turned perpendicular
The wood in the dining room was turned perpendicular to the wood in the living room so that there would be definition between the two rooms while maintaining consistency. You can see this in the photo above.

Jennifer plans on finishing off her renovation with new paint for the walls, kitchen cabinets, and some furniture in the coming weeks. For anyone thinking of completing a similar project, Jennifer recommends doing research into the contractor you are going to hire. She also said it was very helpful to work with a designer, since she helped make decisions about the wood and the changes to come to the space.
