» Vinyl Flooring
By China at 8:55 AM
Vinyl flooring is something that is actually really popular. We have it in our kitchen here at school and it is really easy to wipe off and clean (which is especially nice now that it is winter and we keep dragging in snow).
Usually students renting a house on a college campus have little say about the makeup of the house, but the landlord happened to be redoing the kitchen right before we moved in so we got to help make some of the decisions. We got to help pick out the floor so we chose an anti slip vinyl safety flooring which comes in different squares and it's like a tan ish color. It matches our walls which are like tan and white and sponge painted (it actually looks really cool) and our back splash behind our counters which is a brown color.
Picking out the floor and a few of the other details was really fun and exciting for us, because besides living in an apartment last year, this is really the first time my roommates and I have lived on our own and got to make our own decisions. So picking out colors and tile was really fun for us. It makes me think about one day when I'll live on my own in my own house and get to make all of the decisions about painting the walls and the floors and carpets and the decorations. It all seems so exciting (well probably more exciting now since I don't have the stress of actually having to do it yet).
At my house at home where I live with my dad we had a pretty big say in things. We moved in a while ago, but when we redecorated, we were older so we got to help make a lot of the decisions. We all got to decide what our rooms would look like and how we would decorate them down to the fans and the carpeting color. My sister and I got to pick out our bathroom decorations and the colors also. And then we all got to help out with the photo formatting for the family pictures we have in the living room and the hallways. So overall we made a lot of decisions. But it is a lot more fun thinking about having your own place and getting to do whatever you want with it.
