As I’ve been having a lot of questions about our floors and how we like them, I thought I would take a moment to chat a little about our experience with our Mannington Floors and how they are holding up. I feel so blessed and am very thankful to have had the opportunity to partner with Mannington Floors on this project!
We have been enjoying our flooring now for about 3 months and I have to say that this is one of the best design decisions that I have ever made. We are in love with the look AND the durability. Let me tell you about a couple of the things that have happened that you would think would damage our floors, yet they are left without a scratch. My son dropped a heavy chair directly onto the flooring….and….no damage. My son and husband were doing a project one day and my son accidentally shot a nail from our air nailer toward the floor. To our surprise, the nail bounced off of the flooring and thank goodness everyone was ok. I couldn’t believe that the nail didn’t penetrate right into the floor! My kids, as well as myself, have slid things across the floors that should have scratched them, and they come out unharmed. I think they must be filled with a little bit of magic. We chose these floors over “hardwood” for the durability. Hardwood seems to scratch so easily, and having kids and a dog, we knew that we needed an alternative to hardwood. These wood laminate floors look so much like real wood, you would never know the difference! I love the character in each and every board!
The quality seriously cannot be beat! This flooring is spill shield protected which means it will not be damaged by ordinary spills and pet messes that are removed within 72 hours. This is why we chose to carry this flooring into our bathroom. The drips from the shower and such are no harm to the flooring. We just wipe it up and it dries like a dream. Restoration Collection® is FloorScore® certified and meets stringent indoor air quality standards. The 25 year warranty proves that this flooring can stand the test of time. The color of my flooring is Fairhaven Brushed Natural and it is the Restoration Wide Plank Collection. I’m in love with the wide plank and light, yet rich, color! You can find many of the color options that they offer in this post, here.
I’m going to take you on a little photo tour of our home with some before and after shots. Some of the areas look like an entirely different home to me! I’m so pleased with the way every space turned out! This area is my kids living space in our upstairs.

The master bathroom and bedroom were by far the rooms that changed the most, in my opinion. I think it had something to do with the “refresh” of these spaces along with the flooring. And, just a side note… when you are trying to get something accomplished and you want to try to talk your roomie/spouse into it, use the word “refresh” over “renovate”. It works.

I’m so glad that you joined in on my little “before and after” home tour! Thank you for stopping by! I would love to hear (in the comments below) what you think of our new floors! We sure do love them and Mannington has been an amazing company to work with! Happy Day, my friends!
I think your dog likes to pose ????. Very photogenic! Floors look great ????. Everything does.
I had Mannington Floors installed in my kitchen and foyer in 1980. We lived there 23 years and they proved to be the best thing we did to that home. They were still looking good when we sold this home. I like the color you chose and your rooms look great. My DH and I are in love with Chester. He compliments every room he is photographed. Just wondering how old he is. Your deconstruction of your settee is awesome.
