Our Master Bedroom Flooring Reveal

Master Bedroom Flooring 26L

Yippee!  We have finally bid farewell to the last piece of carpet in our home.  For some reason we can keep a “white-ish” sofa and rug clean all day long but carpet?!?  Geesh!  It’s a freakin’ nightmare around here!  Not to mention that it was the carpet in the home when we purchased it which ever so slightly gives me the bed bug heebie jeebies.  I know that carpet seems so warm and cozy but to me, that’s what an amazing rug is for!  Plus, hard flooring is much easier to keep clean AND adds a beautiful warm wood tone to a space.

With every new project, large or small, always come a big lesson.  So what’s one of the biggest lessons learned from our home renovation?  Dark and glossy hardwood flooring is a NIGHTMARE for us.  Unless you’d like to attach a broom to the back of your children for constant sweep up action, dark flooring is absolutely impossible to keep tidy if you actually live in your home.  Thank goodness this was a lesson learned before we replaced our upstairs flooring but it may be quite a while until we are ready to re-do our main level.  SO, when it came time for our master bedroom, I knew lighter and more rustic was key.  Not to mention the fact that I am loving the juxtaposition of mixing rustic and elegant elements to create interest and depth to a room.

Earlier this Summer I was on the hunt for hardwoods for our master bedroom and The Garrison Collection came a-knocking.  Well they e-mailed me actually and it couldn’t have come at a better time!  As you may know from reading my blog, I only showcase things that I LOVE in my home because that’s exactly what our home is… a compilation of things that I either love or things that work for us.  And their flooring was the perfect combination of BOTH!  After receiving a shipment of samples, I decided on the European Oak Villa Gialla- Arezzo for it’s super light color and warm wood tone.  I wanted something that would contrast nicely with our darker walls and cooler toned accent colors in the space.

The Product

Master Bedroom Flooring 18L

The Villa Gialla is their widest plank floor, measuring 9.5” across which was another HUGE selling point for me!

·         It also has a 4 mm wear layer, which is incredibly thick by engineered flooring standard! This allows room for the top layer to be sanded and refinished 3 to 5 times easily.

·         The wideness of the planks, and the way they are flat sawn allows you to see the full arc of the wood grain, called “cathedral graining”. This is what give the European oak such a unique look compared to the more traditional red or white oak flooring (which is rift sawn).

·         The face of the board is hand scraped and wire brushed by hand. The hand scraping, aka distressing, runs along the length of the wood so that it is not perfectly flat and smooth. The wire brush tool, which looks a lot like a wire grill cleaner, gently scrapes the surface of the wood exposing the natural grain patterns, knots, and variations. Together, these give the floor a natural, rustic appearance creating a casual, comfortable aesthetic.  

·         These treatments also help hide natural wear and tear, keeping your floor looking great for many years – even with kiddos, pets, parties, etc!  

About The Garrison Collection:

·         The Garrison Collection is one of the oldest wood flooring companies in America,  and began as a small family business in 1956.

·         They are also one of the fastest growing wood flooring companies in America.

·         They are based out of Los Angeles, and now offer their products throughout the entire United States and into Canada.

·         Due to decades of experiences and relationship building in the industry, their prices are extremely competitive and typically much lower than equivalent products.

The Process

Bye bye carpeting!  Can’t say I will miss you!

    We are redoing our entire house… all new flooring but are considering using 3 widths all mixed at random. Think that would be weird?? I love the wide but hum I guess I like the idea of utilizing all the wood less waste. (Lol um yeah sure it might just be in my head thinking I’m being “green”) Love your room! All of the cool color options now h ed ck why not make it your own …I don’t want to think “resale” and not enjoy “my style” right?

Layers and fluff make all the difference 🥰 P.S. My personal fave… @brooklinen is having a HUGE SALE so I linked it in my bio. Not sponsored… just love it and sharing. Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the books BUT I did have four unexpected surgeries in December so technically I feel like I should have four extra weeks of Holiday shares… right?!? 😉 But I’ll leave it at one… AND technically it isn’t mine so I’m just bragging on my girl Ab 🥰 Hehe I’ll stop blabbing and leave y’all with a peek at Ab’s beautiful Holiday home she shared on the blog a few weeks back (linked in bio). If you want to see more of Ab AND more AW design, pop over and follow our new “behind the AW design scenes” page she’s running… @keepingupwith_aw ♥️ We also have some big news about Ab and her role with AW but I’ll save that for later too. WHEW! I think I’m done now. Goodnight friends!!!
