I feel very lucky to own beach front property...our lord has really blessed my family and given us this wonderful home for us to enjoy. We purchased this condo back in 2003 and at that time, I never really thought that we would keep it this long, but we have and I am sure glad we still call it HOME. While eating our dinner tonight, just look at the view we had, it just doesn't get any better than this! Okay, I'm sure that you are here because you want to see the reveal of my THRIFTY FLOORING...right? Well, we are all finish and here they are! Sorry that the pics are not better, but it was after dark and we don't have very good lighting in this room.
So happy that you came by,
Linda
Our Lord at work!
The finished room!!!
TOTAL cost...$240.
This is a very SMALL bedroom and
most of the floor is hidden by furniture,
so that was the reason that I went the
THRIFTY route on this flooring.
Oh no...looks like I didn't do a real
good job mopping...I guess I was
just worn out! Now don't look to the
left, okay I knew you would:) We
know we still have a small piece of
molding to install, but we forgot to
bring the correct saw with us...next
trip!
The look and feel of handscraped
wood floors for just pennies.
I don't think that I would put these
in just any room, but I do think that
they are perfect for some places, like
this coastal bedroom.
I purchased the flooring at
THE FLOOR TRADER...click
here...for their website.
Never thought that peel and stick
could look and feel this good...
learn something new every day.
So very EASY to install!!!
Best tip that I can give you is, make sure that
your first row is on a straight line. We used a
chalk line.
All beach homes need a grass skirt...
and some seashells...don't you think?

The floor looks beautiful, Linda! Very nicely done and a great deal, too, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThat sky is so gorgeous! You are really blessed. Gloomy and cold here!!

Wow Linda that photo of the sunset you took just took my breath away. I just pinned it. Your right our Lord is amazing. Your floors turned out beautiful. I love the detail in the faux wood. The bedroom looks so peaceful and love the playful grass skirt. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Those floors look great--I am impressed!
ReplyDeletewow, your floor is gorgeous! did you use any extra adhesive, or just go with what's on the planks? I love it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that amazing? I used that once on a powder room in our old home and couldn't get over how "Authentic" it looked! Love the grass skirt...nice touch for the coast! xo
ReplyDeleteThe floors are great. Really look like the real deal. Love the grass skirt.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful. Who would have thought! Perfect in that room.
ReplyDeleteYour new floor is gorgeous! And I love that grass skirt.
ReplyDeleteThe floor turned out great. I also love that grass bed skirt. Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteWow. That looks really beautiful! I will have to consider that when we finish our basement! It does seem like they just keep coming up with new great products! We used laminate in our home and almost everyone thinks it is real!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous view of the ocean! Love your new floors, the room looks wonderful! The bedskirt is perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda that first image would have me sitting there every evening!! The floors turned out great and my eye kept going to that fun bedskirt!

It looks great. The end result puts the thrift in thrifty!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to come look at the floor during the day and report back to blogland. It's the guest room right? I won't look at the view, I promise.
~Bliss~
Your room looks great! The beach, by the way, is my happy place. Any beach any where. How blessed you are to have this retreat and I see you don't hesitate to give God the glory for His goodness. Made me smile to read your post. Oh, and the flooring?, I'm so grateful that you posted this. I need a thrifty fix for a basement floor and I think this will do the trick. I'm going to pin it to my pinterest board. Blessings and Thanks, Tina
ReplyDeleteThat looks really nice, Linda! Who'd have thought ~ peel and stick! : )

I worked for a big-box home improvement store for a long time. The flooring that always came back was the pricey wood stuff. Folks loved the simple-to-install laminates. Yours is a great color & I especially love love the hula bed skirt. You go beach girl you go :D
ReplyDeleteThe floor looks great is a perfect choice for a beach condo. Love the grass skirt on the bed...so cute! You are so talented! Love that sunset...God is so good. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like going to a beach house.
ReplyDeleteyou need easy care floors for sure
WOW Linda this floor looks beautiful!! Love the whole room and that sunset pic is GORGEOUS!

xoxoxo
The floor looks great and I love the price!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love your floors!! Easy is def for me!
ReplyDelete*hugs*Deb
Wow! I'm very impressed. I'd had never known it was peel and stick if you hadn't told me! That bedroom is just gorgeous and so is that sunset! God is an awesome artist, isn't He????
ReplyDeleteI love the floor Linda, it is perfect. I never would have spotted that molding till you said don't look left! And I love the seagrass headboard and where on earth did you get that cute grass skirt for your bed what a cute idea! You captured a gorgeous sunset, I know what you mean, sometimes I have to pinch myself being so close to the water, I get to see the sun rise over it. from my cottage, and in florida, a short hop to the beach to see it set! You must be set on a great angle there to see the sun set., here in the east. Are you in the Outer Banks?God certainly has blessed us both.
ReplyDeleteit looks awesome, linda! love the rustic look of it!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Sure can't tell its humble origins!
ReplyDeleteIt really does look wonderful! I love the shade of color you chose! And some seashells? The perfect touch! ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunset, Linda! I think your flooring turned out beautifully! We bought plank vinyl for our kitchen dining room area, I'm really looking forward to getting it installed!
ReplyDeleteLooks so pretty Linda...and I love the grass bedskirt!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks really great! Good choice Linda! I'll never look at peel and stick the same way again.
ReplyDeleteNow go take a well deserved break on that balcony enjoying the awesome view! :)
BOY does that look gorgeous Linda. We are researching floors for our bedroom. I just do not know what I want,and I for certain know my husband is not tackling this job. Yours turned out gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! This would be so fabulous in a bathroom as well since it's vinyl. Great job installing it and it looks very "real"!
ReplyDeleteHeather
It really does look good!
ReplyDeleteIn a previous job, I inspected renovated condos. Many of the "better" places used this kind of vinyl flooring. In talking with the contractors and decorators, they all said they really liked working with this flooring and how well it wore. I was told that many of the department stores with "hardwood" flooring is really vinyl, like this.
Looks great! What a terrific way to make a big impact with a smaller dollar amount than hardwood!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, Linda !! And, I love the whimsical grass skirt bed skirt, too !!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Linda. I have seen that type of flooring and it a great solution to a lot of different areas. I LOVE that headboard!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the floors...I would never have guessed that was vinyl. You are truly blessed with that beautiful beachfront view!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see this! We are about to use the same thing in our playroom. Kids + dogs + snow and rain + mud = the need for vinyl floors!
ReplyDeleteI laid vinyl plank in our mudroom this past summer and have never been happier! I've laid a lot of floor in my time, and this was SO EASY! andrea@townandprairie
ReplyDeleteWow! So many amazing things to see here! First and foremost, I love the sunset you're privileged to witness. I am blessed to see glistening white snow and frosted ice and sitting by a roaring warm fire.
ReplyDeleteI think the grass bedskirt is daaaaarling! And that new flooring is very cool! It looks wonderful!
Linda, your floor looks amazing!!! I love the whole room, you lucky girl. I might come visit the next time I'm in Foley :)
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Wonderful floors they do look like wood! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYour floors turned out spectacular, Linda! My teeny tiny entryway floor - which was uuuugly parquet yesterday - has been ripped up and I'm raring to go to lay down my Allure Resilient flooring this week! Thanks for the tip on the chalk line. Never thought of that. Your bedroom looks soooo stinkin' sweet! GREAT job! :)

I used a product like this on my stairs. Took the carpet off the stairs and there was builder grade wood under it...not much I could do so I put this on top. I love it. Thanks for sharing, the floor looks great.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing this, I would recommend this for anyone on a budget or not. It looks fabulous! And it is probably easy to clean. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love wood flooring! So beautiful! Thank for you sharing your link on "Cowgirl Up!". Hope to see you back next week.

You got featured on Cowgirl UP week 2!! Be sure to grab a featured button.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely for a lovely price! Inside and outside is gorgeous, too!
ReplyDeleteWe did an outdoor porch we made into our den and didn't want to spend alot. My hubby got wide white pine floor boards, stained them cherry, varnished them, and installed them. He finished them outside on the driveway and it rained and got them wet and some warped some, but we were after an old look anyway. Yes, the wood is soft, but the price was right, it is beautiful, and looks like floors in Europe. Most wide boards are very pricey, so...
Amazing how you can come up with a beautful look with little money.
Thanks for sharing your pretty place!
Looks great! How is it holding up?
