MrsDoingMe: Carpet No More!!!

Let's continue with the master bedroom renovations. As I was telling ya'll before everything in the house was blue, countertops and carpet. While I do love carpet, the last owners of the house had a dog and while it has been 8 years I am still seeing dog hair, IKR!. Well lets began with a little before pics, please do not pay attention the the mess that is my room, I took these pics when in the process of clearing everything out of the bedroom area. As you can see I did this project on 07.20.2013.

Don't laugh at my bootleg TV stand I was trying to decide what I wanted to do, lol!. As you can see under the carpet was also padding and it was stapled to the floor. Lucky I did not have to replace any of the sub-floor and could put the flooring right down. Here is the bedroom cleared out, all the carpet pulled up and clean sub-floor.

I choose the Traffic Master Brazilian Cherry Laminate Flooring from Home Depot you can see it here . I used Roberts Laminate and wood flooring installation kit. Even though it got some bad reviews, it did very well for me, you can find it here . I bought 10 boxes and had 1 1/2 boxes left. I also bought the under padding for the floor, so when walking on the floor it would not have that hollow sound. I couldn't find the exact one I used sorry. It took me all day to install and my beautiful niece helped me. I did have to use my jigsaw to cut some of the pieces to size but it was not hard at all.
