I’m a visual person. I love learning things, but I learn a ba-dillion times faster if you show me. I’m even this way with recipes. If I watch someone make a recipe, it’s burned in my mind forever. Because I prefer to learn visually, I vowed to video our flooring installation process to show you how easy {or how hard in the case of scraping the tile thin set} the process has been.
We now know that our house has a TON of funky angles throughout the floor plan. It would have been much easier with all 90 degree wall angles, but of course, our hallways are all 45 degree angles. We even have 45 degree angles in some of our the CLOSETS! Good times.
I had to show you how easy our floor is to install {Home Legend Barrett Distressed Hickory}. Plus, the color variations are to die for, and I wanted to show you up close.
As you can see, the flooring installation has been quite fast actually, and I am SOOO PROUD to say that the flooring is ALL installed. I finished the closets myself. We have some baseboards to install still, but the flooring is 100% D.O.N.E. Our garage is still full of furniture/sawdust/saws/tools…etc, but that doesn’t count.
I’m absolutely in love with the result guys. It’s been raining here, so I need to wait for a good day with sunshine for pictures, but you are going to die. It has changed my entire house for the better!
What do you think? Should I share a sneak peak phone pic on Instagram!?! Or do you like surprises?

I can’t wait to see the full pics . This floor looks gorgeous.
I’d love to see a video about the edges and if you put your flooring next to a door or like if your flooring meets a stairway. Does that even make any sense?? So like my in-laws did their own locking floor (Pergo) years ago but where it meets the threshold of the front door and where it stops at the top of their basement stair case, there’s glue mess all over and it looks horrible. Also, it came up a little short and so they tried to caulk the space but, yuck. It looks bad. I would like do redo our kitchen floors and would like us to do them ourselves to save some $$, but am shying away from it because of what those spots at my in-laws’ looks like. That’s the first thing I see when I go over there. BTW, yours is the same floor I put on my wishlist a few years ago! So pretty!
