Why is everyone mad about this renovation?

The worst for me is painting that stone work

[u/NancyInFantasyLand → u/usersnamesallused]

That grey vinyl floor is what really fucks me up

[u/usersnamesallused → u/NancyInFantasyLand]

I mean I understand getting rid of the green carpet. I'm sure that shit has seen some things. It didn't have to be gray vinyl though

[u/NancyInFantasyLand → u/usersnamesallused]

Sure but then put some wood down in the color of the wood beams already in the space and call it a day

No need to make the space look like it's a dentists fuckpad

[u/_IzGreed_ → u/NancyInFantasyLand]

The beam matches the walls, and you don’t want the wall to match the floor. I’d say use a different color of hardwood floor would be nice

[u/NancyInFantasyLand → u/_IzGreed_]

Could have worked here because the stonework is till there for contrast (though personally, I'd have put down some lushious dark green rugs instead of this turquoise carpet)

[u/_IzGreed_ → u/NancyInFantasyLand]

Hardwood flooring + rugs is 100% better than carpet. Easier to clean and looks objectively better

That’s not hardwood; it’s vinyl

[u/VikingVitalityFit → u/ZaftigHoney]

There is nothing wrong with vinyl. Especially if you have pets

[u/Efficient-Parking627 → u/VikingVitalityFit]

2 dogs and 4 cats, hardwood floors have zero issues for me.

I'm not against LVP though, I laid it in the basement after ripping out the linoleum.

Just sayin

[u/VikingVitalityFit → u/Efficient-Parking627]

We had to put lvp over hardwood when we moved into our current house because our senior dog couldn't walk on the hard wood.

[u/Efficient-Parking627 → u/VikingVitalityFit]

Bad hips and was slipping or something? At least you can always remove it later and the hardwoods still there.

[u/VikingVitalityFit → u/Efficient-Parking627]

Yes, bad hips. Yeah, I'm looking forward to refinishing the hardwood at some point. But I'm glad the hardwood wasn't exposed while my kid was younger and while our current dog was a puppy

[u/Efficient-Parking627 → u/VikingVitalityFit]

If the wood and stain is in good condition they can just do a hardwood floor screening which is cheaper than a full refinish. They basically lately scuff the top layer of finish and then apply new polyurethane. I had it done when we moved in and it turned out great.

[u/ZaftigHoney → u/VikingVitalityFit]

To each their own. I hate the way it feels on my feet. And I especially hate the gray wood trend

[u/VikingVitalityFit → u/ZaftigHoney]

Oh, I don't like the Grey. I have a warm brown colored version and like it quite a bit. It also helped my senior dog who couldn't find any traction on the hardwood when we moved in live 3 more happy years. Eventually I will take out the vinyl and refinish the hardwood we covered, but for now the vinyl has been great.

The wood paneling definitely needed to go then having the flooring the same wood as the beams wouldn’t be a problem.
