At a family birthday party last weekend, my Aunt Cindy, who owns a beach house in Ocean City, New Jersey, was discussing her latest misfortune – the first level of her beach house had been flooded out.

She told us that she wanted to get her home up and running quickly, so she and her two young daughters could enjoy the summer months at the shore. One of her remodeling decisions involved choosing a kitchen floor. She posed the question at the dinner table of what everyone thought about a laminate floor for the kitchen. Turns out, not many of my relatives knew exactly what laminate flooring was. Some reacted with a less-than-positive response, calling laminate “cheap” and “artificial-looking”. After the dust settled, as usual, everyone turned to me for “expert” flooring advice. The Benefits of Laminate Roughly 6 months ago, I became a marketing specialist for laminate products and have learned a lot about this flooring category since then. Before my new responsibilities with laminate, I probably had a similar reaction to my relatives and thought of laminate as a not entirely desirable flooring choice. However, as I started to work closely with the product, my view completed changed.

Laminate is, in fact, an excellent flooring choice for any room or for any lifestyle! The core of the product provides superior moisture resistance and gives a solid hardwood sound. High end laminate products from Armstrong have Masterworks technology, which creates the most realistic, clear and vibrant designs available in laminate. On top of that, the installation process is fast and easy – ideal for DIYers.Ceiling Fans With Lights Montreal After I told my family about the benefits of laminate, I asked them, “What more could you want?” Disney Duvet Covers In South AfricaThey wanted to know “How does it really look? How To Install A Hanging ToiletAre the designs good looking?” I told them they would not be able to tell the wood and stone visuals weren’t real.

That’s how authentic our laminate floors look. I also told them that we have new laminate floors coming out in late summer – some of them with weathered or distressed looks. I suggested to Aunt Cindy that they are definitely worth waiting for – one of them is even driftwood-inspired. Could it be more perfect for a beach home?!

Years ago when I decided to paint the floors in my small summer house, most people were shocked (including my parents). Bare wood floors were so chic and such a staple of 90's style, that painting them over and covering them up seemed sacrilegious. I didn't think so anymore. See how they turned out... The floors were cheap, solid oak floors, in great need of refinishing. It was either hire someone to sand and polyurethane (which would have been messy and cost at least $2,000) or paint them myself with polyurethane based oil paint (cost: $200 for the paint + 3 weekends of my time). The inspiration came from visiting my friend Charles' house in Massachusetts that had been part of a Shaker community. All the floors had been painted and repainted for years in the richest colors. The house was warm and bright without the aid of carpets or rugs, and the idea seemed perfect for any summer house, where all you want to do is walk barefoot for days at a time. It seemed easy to maintain, and removed all hint of preciousness to the floors.

They just seemed practical and lovely, reminding me, as well, of the bright colors in Monet's house at Giverny where he painted both the inside and outside with the bright colors of his surroundings. HOW I DID IT, SCREWED IT UP AND THEN CORRECTED MYSELF Moving the furniture was easy, the problem was working with the paint. I made a big mistake in laying the second coat on too thick and painting on a rainy day. The humidity and the thickness caused the paint to wrinkle, clot and appear dull and matted. I had to work hard to undo my mistake. Here are my new tips on how to do it right: 1. Vacuum and wipe down floor thoroughly to remove all dust and dirt 2. Use polyurethane based porch and floor enamel 3. If you want to improve adhesion to the maximum, it's good to paint down a primer first. I have never done this and haven't had problems indoors, but the by-the-book rules recommend it. 4. After cutting the edges with a brush, roll on a thin coat with a 1/4 inch roller

5. Roll at least two more thin layers and allow at least 24 hours between coats 6. Keep the heat on if necessary (@ 70 f) to insure quicker, dry drying 7. Don't plan to stay in the house (bad fumes) and keep the windows open a bit while painting I found that the white floor paint behaved much better upstairs than the red that I used on the first floor and attribute this to the warmth upstairs of both the air and the floor itself (these were the first colors I painted). A shiny, clean, beautiful floor that establishes a new style for the millenium. While I would rather use a less toxic paint, at the time I painted a number of years ago, oil based polyurethane was my best bet. Now I see that most floor polyurethanes have switched to a water based solution. Anyone have good recommendations on these? I've also started to play around with Farrow & Ball paint, which is totally natural (expensive) and has a floor paint solution that is said to work well with their primer.
