Renovating Your House Before an At-Home Wedding


It's kind of ironic that my family has suddenly decided now, while wedding planning is in full swing, that our house needs to be renovated before the guests arrive. It makes sense, though, because we want our somewhat worn and outdated house to look as presentable as possible. There is plenty of work that needs to be done, and I suppose it's good that we finally have the motivation to do it.

This is definitely something you'll want to think about if you're hosting a wedding at your home. A wedding is one of the most important days you'll ever have in your life, so you want to make sure things that people will come in contact with, such as the yard and the bathrooms, look nice. Especially if you plan on having your wedding guests stay overnight!

The biggest project that we wanted to tackle was taking up the carpet in the first-floor family room and replacing it with laminate flooring. The previous owners had some pet issues, and so the room tends to get a bit smelly during the humid summer months. Not to mention that the carpet looked pretty ratty after twenty or so years of use.

We invested in some Armstrong Swiftlock laminate flooring (in antique oak), and although it was a lot of work to put in (done by people other than me, that is!), it looks a million times better than it did before. And now, it will even make for an excellent dance floor, should we need it.
