So goes any project, and this vintage trailer is no exception.
In January, we found out that we chose a now discontinued color. Marmoleum Mineral 5714 is discontinued - we needed to start again.
Limiting my choices to sheet Marmoleum, not tiles, I ordered samples in gray and cream shades in the patterns Piano, Concrete, Fresco, Real, Graphic, and Straito.
New Marmoleum samples arrived last week
I'd hoped for something that I liked almost as well, but instead there were 3 choices that I liked!
Marmoleum Real - Color Eiger is a possibility.
Marmoleum Real - Color Slate Gray is really interesting.
Marmoleum Fresco - Color Eternity very nice.
We made these our initial preferences - comparing each Marmoleum swatch with our other fabric, curtain, Zolatone, and wood swatches. I used a cookie baking sheet, moving them from room to room to see how different light affected the colors. I was checking them again and again. And again. Finally the weekend arrived so we could check the colors all together in strong daylight - to see if our indoor-lighting flooring preferences would hold up in "real" light.
While I've never had a new house built, we've worked quite a bit sprucing up and updating our home. Restoration of our 1955 Flying Cloud restoration is much like a stationary house. First the structure, then the details. I'm so excited to be in the "details" stage!
Marmoleum Real - Color Eiger is our choice.
