 | From Diane Schmidt, your About Home Editor We had a flood this week in our new place. A pipe broke and my office was the worst hit. The carpet is ruined, of course, so now we're scrambling to decide what to replace it with. When I turned to the About Home Guides for help, I had no idea there was so much information to be had - from details on types of green flooring, to measuring a space for new carpet and even how your home can increase in value with changing up the floors. | |
Cost Effective Green Flooring Options
I've thought about replacing the carpet with bamboo flooring so when I came across this article that compares types of green flooring and considers cost-effectiveness, I was astounded by the number of options out there. If you're thinking of replacing your floors, I highly recommend starting here.
| Best Kitchen Flooring
Now that wer'e deep into researching our options, I'm thinking that the kitchen floor is starting to look a little worn. This article not only reveals the top kitchen floors in five different categories, ranging from best for wear and tear all the way to best floors for do-it-yourselfers, but it also has some great photos so you can actually see what it looks like. It's the perfect guide to take to your local home improvment store.
| How to Measure for Carpet
My husband would prefer that we don't change things up, sticking to what was in my office before: carpet. And he may be right. After all, I loved walking into the room first thing in the morning and feeling the soft fibres beneath me. But since we've never really shopped for carpet, I clipped this article that shows a first-timer like me how to measure a room - a great way to know what your costs will be when comparing brands and types across different stores.
| Home Repairs to Boost Your Home's Sale Price
While this article goes beyond flooring, I thought it was the perfect wrap-up piece for this week's newsletter. It describes all the things you can do to your home to add extra value regardless of whether you're selling your home. And first up on the list of home repairs to tackle? New floors.
