Our House Remodel: Flooring Reveal

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Floor & Decor. All opinions and text are mine.
If you’ve been following along with our latest remodel journey, you may have seen our fun visit to Floor & Decor to choose the main flooring for the house! In this post, I shared several options for our main flooring that we were deciding between and ultimately the gorgeous wood flooring we decided to go with. Montpellier Oak Engineered Hardwood is “the one” and we had installed throughout our entire downstairs, on the staircase and on the upstairs catwalk. You guys… it’s GORGEOUS!
Just a little bit different, right?! I’m 100% completely in love with it. The color, which is a blend of light grays and browns is absolute perfection. It goes with all of our furniture and decor. The soft texture is delicious. I love the wide width of the planks (8.75″). The variety of each plank adds so much character to the space. You may have seen our kitchen reveal post last week which gave a little peek of the flooring…
Isn’t it beautiful?
Here is a fun before & after of our catwalk upstairs. You’ll not only notice the gorgeous wood flooring, but check out our the new railing we put in! We removed so much drywall including ALL of those niches. Later, niches! The walkway is so much wider and open now!
Crazy, right? Here’s the view of the other side, where the kids’ rooms are.
One of the main reasons we chose Montpellier Oak Engineered Hardwood was because of the staircase. While I love wood-look tile, I don’t love how it looks on stairs because of the sharp edges. With the Montpellier Oak, I was able to order custom stairnose pieces to match the flooring! It turned out beautiful!
Here’s a little peek of our family room because it shows how lovely the wood flooring looks in this space too! (more to come…)
What do you think? Do you love the Montpellier Oak as much as I do?
If you’re thinking about updating your home with new flooring, I highly recommend that you visit Floor & Decor!

Beautiful transformation Kim. Love it all. Great choice on the flooring which is such a hard item to select.
K.
Thanks, Kim! It is a big decision for sure! So happy with these!
Beautiful! What is the wall color on the walls in the catwalk? It looks slightly blue or is that just the light?
It’s actually a light gray called Cloud, by Dunn Edwards!
Thank you! Again, it looks beautiful – can’t wait for the rest of the reveal!
Kim it looks AMAZING!!!! That flooring is perfection!!!
Thank you, Amber!
Kim you did an amazing job putting together these traditional wall trimming and flooring.
The finished carpentry goes so well with modern flooring.
Absolutely stunning.
That flooring is beautiful, and that transformation is amazing! It’s so warm and inviting.
Thank you, Pat!
LOVE the flooring Kim……such a great choice! Those niches…..holy cow…..so much better with the railing! Also loving the board + batten wainscoting…..such beautiful architectural details really make the area sing! It coordinates with the shaker style of the kitchen cabinets so well. BRAVO! Can’t wait to see more 🙂 XOXO
Thank you, Tina!! I’m so glad you like all of the details so far! Can’t wait to share more!
Wise decision pf choosing the engineered hardwood flooring it is looking great. The living room is fabulous and the floor really suits the interior.
WOW. Speachless! Really really amazing transformation. Love it!
Love it! Where did you get the pictures?
The wood signs? The “home” sign can be found here: http://tidd.ly/b9e3d02
and the “wise men” sign can be found here: https://www.jaxnblvd.com/
So I noticed that you have carpet in the bedrooms. What kind of carpet did you use? Or what’s your favorite carpet to use in bedrooms?
Ummm…nothing short of amazing! Love witnessing this transformation! And love love loooove your style. Keep it coming!
It looks so amazing, thank you for sharing and providing the link for the floors. Great job ☺
Thank you, Brenda!
I have the same floors. While they are beautiful, they show every drop of water, or anything else, that falls on them. How have you successfully protected/cleaned them?
Hi Chelsea,
Have you tried using Bona cleaner? This is what I use to clean any spills.
Hey Kim, who did you use to install the flooring?
Hi Allison!
I used a local installer here in Phoenix. Email me and I can share the contact info!
Kim, how kid friendly and dog friendly is the wood floor? i think my current flooring is some kind of laminate but i wanted to change everything out to this flooring you picked. just scared it will scratch or dent easily.
Hi Suzy,
We haven’t had any scratching or denting, but if we did, I don’t think it would be noticeable because the wood is so textured and has unique markings on each piece. Spills/moisture should be wiped up quickly or may leave a stain.
You have captured my heart and attention with your fabulous post! Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely and very insightful one. Not just your content is engaging but the way you have shared great photos are awesome! I would loved to have the same flooring – exactly the same with the pictures you’ve shown. I have been troubled with deciding what type of oak beam should I use but with your post, I have been swooned by Montpellier Oak! Thank you so much and I can’t wait to share this with my friends.
I love the look! So amazing. What color paint did you use on the walls?
WOW! Amazing! Really amazing transformation. Love it!!!
How are the floors holding up? We have 3 kids and want to put this in the kitchen and living room. I’m so worried about scratches. And I love the wide plank oak!
Hi Erin!
We actually sold the house already! We didn’t have any scratches while we were still living there. 🙂
Did you feel like the floors looked really gray in real life? I ordered them and they look so dark. What was the sky?
The floors are more of a light tan with gray mixed in. The flooring is called Montpelier Oak.
Sku* not sky
How did you get stair noses for this wood? This is exactly the floor I want, but I was told you can’t use them on stairs? Please tell me your secret!
Do you have any other photos of your family room?
Hi Kim,
Great job on the fantastic transformation..We are building an ocean front home and your choices and colors are very similar to what I’m looking for. It sounds like you’ve sold your home, congratulations! Do you by chance remember the paint color and brand? Love it!
Cindy
Looks beautiful! Love it all! I’m considering wood for our entire home, stairs and up stairs as well but am concerned about the acoustic of the home and it being too loud as it is a large home that enters with a two story vaulted ceiling. And I have 3 kids- two of them boys. How has that been for you? I’m afraid it will be too loud. Thx for your input!
I absolutely love this flooring. I’ve been looking at it at Floor and Decor. There are 3 very similar Woodland Reserve Montpelier Oaks, however. There’s the Montpelier Oak, the Monptelier Oak Wire Brushed, and the Montpelier Oak Distressed. Do you know which you have? The link takes me to the Wire Brushed but the samples I have look darker than yours. Thank you so much!
Hi Kim!
Did I read right? You sold this house? If so what’s your next project? I love the kitchen and floors but with 4 boys and a pool I’m afraid those floors would be ruined by my kids and animals. I wanted to ask you what color did you use for the kitchen? I’m looking to re-do my kitchen soon, Thx! Love your style! You complete me!
Question for you – there are multiple versions of this flooring. Which was yours?
– Woodland Reserve
Montpellier Oak Distressed Engineered Hardwood
– Woodland Reserve
Montpellier Oak Wire Brushed Engineered Hardwood
-Woodland Reserve
Montpellier Oak Engineered Hardwood
Thank yo u!
Hello! Is the floor nailed down? Glued down? Or both? If you remember how they installed it it would be super helpful. Thank you!
Hi Kim,
What is the SKU# for the Montpellier floor? There are a few with that name at Floor & Decor. Love it! Thanks.
Wow your house is beautiful!
What is the SKU ? There are several options with that name. Thank you
Awesome set of images, the light in some of them is incredible!!!
I love the color and style of these hardwood floors! I’ve been looking into hardwood floor refinishing for my own home and this has me sold!
Thank you, Sara!

I love the board and batten that you did in this house. Do you have a blog about that? Would love to know the dimensions you used. We are going to do this in our house and so far yours is what I like the most out of everything I have seen.
Love the flooring. I have a question on your living room chandelier. What is the name and make of this chandelier.
It’s beautiful! Also, what color paint did you use? Love that too!!
