Originally, when we purchased our home, it had ugly old wall-to-wall carpets in an entire home except for kitchen and bathrooms. As I mentioned in my previous entry, we removed the wall-to-wall carpet in our master bedroom and were going to install laminate flooring two years ago, but we changed our renovation plan. We decided to work on other rooms first. You can check out what we did for the first year from my previous entry, It's Been A Year! - We've Done 17 Our Home Renovation Projects.
Removing Old Wall-to-Wall Carpets
Two years ago, we removed the ugly wall-to-wall carpet in this room and got rid of dust. (We eventually used this room as a huge storage room for a lot of renovation materials until last month.)

Installing New Underlayment and Laminate Flooring
Installing new laminate flooring was pretty easy for us because we did it in our second bedroom before. We installed the underlayment, Pergo Gold Premium 3mm Flooring Underlayment. Then, we finally started laying laminate flooring, Camden Oak Laminate Flooring with Pad Attached, which we purchased at our local Costco.

Then, he nailed baseboard molding into the place with the nail gun. Then, he used caulk to fill the gaps between the walls and molding.

We also painted white on entire walls and baseboard molding, and this room looks so fresh now.
This ugly room turned into a brand new room. :)
By the way, we decided to use our master bedroom as our home office. :) I'll write about the painting and other updates of this room next time. :)
