Our new floors look fabulous.
You'll recall that we had gross berber carpet that looked like this.
Now we have new laminate floors that look like this:
The installers did a nice job with the transition spaces.
The new floors are not an exact match to the old ones--the new floors are a touch redder, and the planks are a full inch wider. However, the french bleed edge made a big difference when looking at the floor as a whole, so we went with that option. I'm sure you can see the difference since I am pointing it out, but in person it is a pretty close match.
I was surprised at how much bigger the space feels without the carpet. I was also mildly surprised at how much the carpet had muffled sound---the downstairs now has a much louder echo effect, even if you are in the kitchen or family room.
I am really happy with how this turned out! I think it looks fabulous, it was reasonably priced, and I no longer have to vacuum under the dining table. Laminate flooring FTW!

I Can. Not. Believe. how much of a difference that makes!!!! It's AMAZING!!! And, I'm sure *you* can tell the difference because you live there, but I honestly had to look at the picture, then read what exactly was different between the two floors, then look again, and only then did I finally concede, that ok, I *guess* you can tell that one floor has wider boards than the other. It looks FANTASTIC!!!!
