Hick is now working on the living room of Bargain House. It will need paint and flooring. The last thing he did was replace the front door with a new door. Once the living room is done, that only leaves the kitchen, which needs everything: flooring, cabinets, sink, and appliances. The end is in sight, but I don't know the time it will take, due to Hick's busy schedule.
Early last week, Hick said he had been thinking about the living room flooring.
"Since I had to replace the floor in the bedroom after that water leak, I don't have enough of the flooring left to do the living room. I've been thinking about a lighter color, to brighten up the room."
"What does it have, just that one window? How does it face?"
"It's on the west side."
"So the living room wouldn't get sunlight until afternoon. Yeah, I think a lighter color might be good for the floor."
"It will probably be what's the cheapest! That's how I usually pick the flooring. The most I can get for the lowest price. Like if they have a special deal on a return, or leftovers."
Hick sent me a picture Wednesday, of the flooring he picked. Just a couple pieces he laid down by the bedroom entrance, to show me the color.
I like it. There's enough of a difference between it and the other flooring to show that it wasn't just an attempt to match. It was a planned variation. I definitely think it will brighten up the living room.
It's a good choice. Will he turn the boards so the grain runs the same way as the bedroom flooring?
ReplyDeleteNo, Hick will not turn the boards. He says by running them along that way, the living room will look larger. The front door is just out of the picture, to the right. So when people walk in, the boards will be running forward. Like when you enter the bedroom there, the boards are running forward.
DeleteI like that flooring. Nice color and will definitely lighten up the room quite a lot. Good choice. Ranee
ReplyDeleteI also like the color of the flooring. Hick knows his way around a house.
