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?

A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... h A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... her very own little dressing area! #ad And a little hint hint for her to lay out her clothes the night before 😉 As y'all may have seen on my stories a few weeks back, I was deciding between two fun ideas during the C<span style="background-color: rgb(234, 212, 107);">reative Co-Op </span>#amazonprimeday and got y'all to vote. This full length mirror, pouf and ladder setup was the winner and my personal fave. Here's a peek at how it all came together and also take a peek at the Creative Co-Op brand store on Amazon for more decor like this!
I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And af I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And after finally finding and then whitewashing two tables at an antique store a few months back, I decided to bring my inspo to life! And dust off quite a few of John’s things as well from his architecture books to his dad’s antique rail car lantern along with some of our travel finds to make it OURS. I’ve never loved a tv console more 💗💗💗
How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl' How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl's best friend?? 🤣💗 I cannot say enough great things about how the windows turned out in my bathroom thanks to @calicocorners. I
searched high and low for the perfect window treatments in this space and I wish I would have known how easy it was to order from Calico's quick ship program earlier!  Oh and also, I don't have to take a shower in the dark anymore to spare the neighbors 😅😂

The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When I opened the girl’s “art closet” last week to find a piece of luggage, I think the entire closet almost came tumbling down on top of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ With school starting next week, rather than imploding, I decided to get my girlies to help with a few organizational projects with the help of the CUTEST new Home Edit organizational finds at @walmart Winnie and I got to work yesterday and I think I’ve now peeked inside the completed closet no less than ten times already to relish in the beauty of the labeled bins 😉 Oh and I also detailed sizes for each bin in this video to visually help you with all of the online options.

Double Tap if you’re “Team Still Images” 🙋🏻‍♀️ Don’t worry… I absolutely am ♥️ It’s just been a while since I’ve actually gotten out my camera and photographed a space. Everything seems to be in every phase except completion. Except this space which incorporates every single thing I love in design… color, pattern, texture, warmth, meaningful touches and a piece of history…
