"Since this country home had been remodeled many times, and none of them good attempts, the structure had many different characteristics working against each other. One of the main updates this room needed was the addition of a new floor. The old floor had been covered with tile and was, sorry to say, ugly. While replacing a floor may sound expensive and quite messy, it can be quite the opposite experience when working with the correct material for the project. I chose to use a high quality laminate from Quick-Step's Veresque collection. It gives the most realistic hardwood floor look. I like this product for quick remodels because it can be installed easily over an existing floor and is very well-priced. The updated floor gave the room an entirely new look and a clean slate with which to design our furniture layout." --Erinn Valencich on eHow at Home
