SnapStone Floating Tile |
Seven years ago I bought a new home that was about 70 percent complete. Part of the 30 percent that remained to be finished included flooring in two
bedrooms, the upstairs loft, a half bath, pantry, laundry room, and
stairwell. To make the house
immediately livable, I put in some flooring that was trendy at the time. I figured if a product passed the Divine Design test of my HGTV guru, Candice
Olson, it was certainly more than worthy of installation in my home.
I’m still happy with most of the flooring I installed, but I have since
rescued a dog. Anyone who has
cared for larger dogs knows they can be hard on flooring. The area that has taken a beating is the stairwell landing where Toby likes
to hang out by a picture window that gives him a place to keep an eye on
what’s happening in our world. I
need to install a tougher material that can take heavy traffic.
Having decided on tile, since my animals love to soak up the sun in front of
that window, I have been researching DIY options. How I love to come across web pages that show an innovative home improvement
product in action. There are
many websites pushing products, but few that are exceptional when it comes to
demonstrating an actual installation. I appreciate a how-to presentation that is honest in sharing what went right
as well as lessons learned.
Here’s one of the best Squidoo lenses I found. KateHon demos a fabulous floating tile
flooring option while sharing before and after photos of a bathroom
renovation. I can see myself
installing this tile floor in my home. How about you?
Have you published a home improvement product review? If so, stop by and
let me know. I hope to feature your work. You can find me at
Home Renovation Central and "Do or Di DIY."
