There is one place in the house, the breakfast nook, where you can see no less than seven kinds of flooring. Yes, you read that right, from just one vantage point! Seven!
Overall our house has eleven different kinds of floors, not including the concrete in the garage. Which is probably pretty standard in older homes, before cohesive flooring and flow were important to people (I can just imagine the previous owners getting excited about putting in a different type of tile or laminate in each room. Yay, so different and unique!).
But these days, it's kind of crazy to have so many kinds of floors, especially when they can all be seen from one place!
Standing in the breakfast nook, turning to my left, you can see the cheap laminate wood floors (#1). But wait, look through that doorway at the other end of the room, you can see worn Berber going up the stairs to the bonus room (#2).
Then, I take a quarter turn to my right, to look down the entry hall, out to the foyer. Hall, nook and kitchen tile (#3), with a brick floor in the foyer (#4), and no real transition between them. And OH, don't forget that *new* brown shag carpet (#5) going up the stairs! (Yes, that shag carpet is only about 6 months old. In the listing photos, they still had grandma pink carpet upstairs. Why, oh why anyone would get shag carpet these days....although I must admit, it is comfortable under your feet. Just god help you if you drop anything on it, you may never find it again!).
