Trafficmaster Allure looks good, but will it hold up?
We had quite the busy weekend. Here’s a recap of our progress.
1. Installed a new floating floor in the baby’s playroom. We decided to go with Trafficmaster Allure after reading the great reviews of the product on Apartment Therapy. It’s vinyl, not laminate. We have real oak floors upstairs, and the Trafficmaster definitely feels artificial. That said, it was pretty easy to cut to size (with scissors!), especially for the nooks and corners. After a slow start, we got the hang of it and finished the room in about 6 hours. I have a feeling that the next room will be even easier.
More after the jump.
2. Nicole’s dad, very handy with wiring and electrics, fixed many things around the house. In addition to updating light switches and plug sockets, he installed an Ikea FADO light in the entry room.
3. Finished painting what will be the TV room.
4. Child safety gate around the spiral stairs, again courtesy of Nicole’s dad.
5. We also tore up the carpeting in the baby’s bedroom, only to discover that what we thought was hard wood was just plywood subfloor. It’s ok, now we have a clean slate to work with.
