This was just one of those things that I was so impatient for (impatient is a little bit of an understatement ... haha), but I love it! <br /><br />I haven't shared the brand yet, and even if I had no need to apologize for asking! We got it from Lumber Liquidators. It's their Kensington Manner brand in Sandy Hills Hickory (color). Here's the link to the exact one we got http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/c/mm%2Bpad-Sandy-Hills-Hickory-Laminate-Dream-Home-Kensington-Manor-12SH/10026751 ... They have some other really nice colors too. We almost went with the "Warm Springs Chestnut" color which has a little bit more red (ours is a true brown color). One tip I have is waiting until they have their quarter end sale! We got our flooring for $2 a square foot so we saved a lot of money and we haven't seen it go lower than that (I've kept my eye on it because my parents want to replace their floor at some point). Once I'm done the floor I'll do a whole post about it with more details!LaurLewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859351088653575241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954139271301354138.post-223639339582345452014-11-08T05:51:26.558-08:002014-11-08T05:51:26.558-08:00I keep telling myself I can live without redoing t...I keep telling myself I can live without redoing the floor for awhile! Well looking at your kitchen, there goes that plan! It is beautiful! What a huge difference! Will you share color and brand? If you already did, apologies for asking again!Chrissie G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10059408236438297457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954139271301354138.post-19115654931065484122014-11-06T10:24:19.448-08:002014-11-06T10:24:19.448-08:00Thanks Michelle!

That's the reason I picked dark rich colored floors! <br /><br />Good luck with the loft! It definitely is a lot of work but so worth it when you see the finished product!
