The new floors and room decor are just beautiful, great choices:)

The floors are beautiful and love the new tables too!

They look great! I love the color of your kitchen walls! That is what I want in mine. What color is it?

DITTO!!! I think when hubby and I buy our house I should fly you and your babies out and you can help me decorate my new house! :D that would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!! :)

Beautiful floors and your home seems soooo warm.

That turned out great. I love the dark with your decor.

The floors look fabulous and I love the new table!
Looks great with all your paint colors!!

Okay, when we first moved in to our house, before moving the furniture in I cleaned the entire house (all Armstrong laminate with tile in the bathrooms) with a Swiffer wetjet. The next morning I come in ready to move in furniture and the floors looked awful! All streaky and dull! So I went out and bought a Hoover Hard floor cleaner which worked fairly well for a year or so until it broke. The floors were really never as streak-free as I would have like though using that machine. Then finally someone told me about Bona X. Here's a link to one I found just so you can see it but I get mine from my local hardware store. They make hardwood AND laminate stuff.
BONA X Swedish Formula Hard Surface Floor Care System - BONA X Hard Surface Floor Care products.
I've had the same stick thing with microfiber pad for at least a year and it is still in perfect shape - wash the pad in the washing machine (with no fabric softener) and throw it in the dryer. The spray goes a long way too.

Just last week my mom emailed me and said that two ladies she works with were talking about how they couldn't get their laminate floors streak-free so she asked me what I use and passed it on to them. One of them called her office phone to leave her a message at 10:00 that night SO excited because she had gone out and bought it that evening and was so impressed. The true test for me is that one side of my house is almost all windows and in the evening the floor is very much on display..... not a streak to be seen!

I hope everyone with laminate floors will find this product as wonderful as I have!

Brooke, your floors are beautiful! You have impeccable taste in decorating. I prefer traditional decor and I love what you have done.

Hey Brooke, didn't mean to steal your thread up there with my cleaning comments but now that you have these beautiful floors, I thought you might appreciate the hindsight and new discovery of mine to keep them that way! I was waiting to see if you'd ask what I meant on my other post but someone else did ask so I thought I'd share. Congrats again! I know that was a lot of work because we did ours ourselves. Learned a lot! Not sure if you had a hand in putting them in but if so, great job!

Brooke, your new floors are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Like the kitty cat, too! :D

I have a question about that product you used~ do you think it would work on granite flooring? We have terribly hard water and when the floor is cleaned it needs to be dried with a cloth (and even though only the entry, family room and kitchen are granite, it's a LOT of area to be drying by hand, LOL.

Brooke, the floors are so beautiful! I like the dark wood too. And I'll NEVER have carpeting again as long as I LIVE:mad:. 4000 sf of off white carpeting was a HUGE mistake (as was the granite flooring esp. in the kitchen...very pretty, but very painful!!!). Live and learn.

I had a little nightstand that looks identical to your white one when I lived in my apartment; I LOVED it!

Everything looks so pretty; you did a great job and I bet the babies love it too! Cute kitty!

The flooring you chose really goes with your decor. Enjoy the new home now. :) Were still waiting for our flooring to come in.
