In reply to Wendy. Hi Wendy! So happy to hear that! Both of those and all of our slip-covered furniture is from IKEA. It is the now-discontinued Ektorp series. They have a similar one taking its place though. I can't remember the name but if you go to their site and search "slipcovered" you should find it! :)

Hi! I’m really enjoying your page. I’m curious where you got your slipcovered chair and ottoman. They are exactly what I’m wanting for my new home office!

In reply to Gina. Hmmm, I haven't had that happen, Gina. I actually use water mixed with some essential oils to clean ours. I don't use any commercial cleaners on the floor ever. Maybe give the manufacturer a call and see what they say about those corners. Good luck! xo

We had this floor mates by our contractor and absolutely love it! However every so often there is a shiny mark on some of the corners I can’t figure what it is from, any ideas? Also what type of mop :cleaner do you use? The web site said water only?

In reply to Lydia Allensworth. Hi Lydia! Being sponsored as well as having ads on my site are part of the business of having a blog. I began my blog 7 years ago and have worked hard to build it to where it is today. :) We absolutely love this flooring. It has been amazing and is gorgeous AND super affordable! How exciting to be having a place that you can finally call your own!! Congrats to you both and thank you for your service to this wonderful country of ours! As far as beginning blogging, I do have a page I created for others who may be interested in starting one, you can find it here. It has lots of helpful info! :) Good luck with it and your new home. xoxo

May I ask how you got sponsored? I was actually already looking into this flooring, and stumbled across your blog! My husband and I are closing tomorrow on our first home! It’s been a long time coming, as we have rented the past 8 years due to his military career. He is now a veteran, and we are so excited for this next step. Our house, while livable, is going to get a much needed facelift. We have a lot of work ahead of us (the entire 16oo+ sq ft basement needs to be finished, plus updates upstairs). We are hoping to do as much ourselves as possible, and I want to start blogging the process! Any thoughts and tips you have are welcome!

In reply to Shanna.

Oh, yes, I totally understand! We actually removed ceramic tile in our foyer all the way through our kitchen. It’s not fun but some jobs just aren’t! ;) But it was doable. We really wanted it outta there so it made it easier to do, I guess. Lots of motivation!! We then laid the vinyl tiles. And no, we did not remove the vinyl tiles, we put this right over them. The tiles were still in really good shape and adhered VERY well to the flooring, so no need really.
Hmm, it’s been a lot of years ago that we removed the ceramic tile but I feel like we had to replace some of the underlayment afterwards, before laying the vinyl tiles. A crowbar. No, seriously, it’s just gonna take some work to get that gone. Some come up easier than others though. So, I say go for it! Don’t let that hold you back. Yes, it’s a little work up front but this flooring is a breeze to lay and the rewards when it’s done are so worth it. Good luck with whatever you decide!! xo

I would love to do this in my house. The tile in the kitchen is what’s mainly holding me back. The thought of removing it is daunting. I also have orangish hard wood that is very scratched. One cohesive flooring that is durable would be great. Thanks to the inspiration! Did you have tile that you removed, or was that vinyl in the kitchen? If it was tile any hints on how to remove it?

Looks amazing!!! Just got a Sams membership. We have some carpet that needs to be replaced but we will need transition strips. (Will need at least an 8 feet and a 6 feet). Can you get those at Sam’s?
