Upgrading from the 60’s look

Five years ago we changed our 1960’s era house from a Mediterranean look to a more country look.

Now we have changed the kitchen and family room floors. First, we removed the dark wainscoat paneling, seen here in the background on each side of the hall. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any specific before photos of the walls.

Then we removed the rug in the family room and the linoleum in the kitchen and installed new laminate. Our struggle was to find a flooring color that worked with our oak kitchen cabinets, whose finish has yellowed a bit over the years. We’re quite happy with the results.
