Home Renovation: What Adds the Most Value

 Thankful that I had some beautiful ceramic tile floor work done at my entryway on a recent renovation. Pics below.

Focus on Floors ... The thing that can add the most value to your renovation is underfoot. “When you’re buying a house, you’re basically buying walls and floors,” says Saavedra, who prefers wide-engineered hardwood, which can range between $3 and $20 a foot [or more]. “There’s no worse feeling than walking into a brand-new apartment and hearing that creaky, Formica plasticky sound,” he says. “I call it ‘foreclosure floors,’ and the saddest thing is, it’s really not that much cheaper.”  -- Domino Magazine

Kitchen Renovation: Brazilian Cherry Wood Floor

We've come to appreciate pretty wood floors and had them installed in our main living areas during last year's renovation. We were happy to see that our son's apartment in Europe also came with pretty herringbone-patterned wood floors. 

We needed them for our kitchen floor!  We were worried that the same cherry floors we bought a year ago were no longer available. A match was needed since the walls are gone and it's become  an open-concept kitchen area. 

There were still many available, thank God. The price had increased slightly, though -- under $6 per sq foot to $6.39.

Floor Renovation: Chevron or Herringbone-pattern Entryway

I wanted traditional & timeless -- an entryway that says "WELCOME!"  Thus, a herringbone tile pattern embedded in the middle of our landing was born. We didn't use slate (remains a good choice) but went for brick-like in porcelain instead.
