Here is one of many marmoleum kitchens l have done recently.  This particular kitchen l installed the marmoleum over the existing vinyl versus putting down a brand new subfloor. The kitchen has 3 scribed seams and 1 in the hallway.

So here are some more photos of the job I did in Fauntleroy. In these photos you can see how long of a carpet stretch I had to do between both bedrooms downstairs. This house has two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, plus two hallways. In my previous post you can see the detailed work I did with the bullnose stairs. I am very happy with the way this job turned out, This particular type of carpet is know as a "berber". Underneath the berber carpet I used an extra thick 8# pad which really made a difference in how the carpet feels when you walk, sit or lay on top of it. This 8 pound pad is thicker then the normal 8 pound foam pad I usually use. And the only reason I used it was because the 8 pound pad I had ordered for this job didn't show up when I picked up my order. As a result the company gave me the thicker 8 pound pad.What a difference it made! Even better the cost for the thicker 8 pound pad was very minimal compared to the normal 8 pound pad most flooring stores sell me. I highly recommend you look into a thicker 8 pound pad before you move up to a more expensive pad like "tripple touch, or healthy choice pad". The difference in price is significant...over $3.00 a yard you can save, which adds up quickly.

So this is a staircase I did in Fauntleroy. These stairs were all bullnose stairs with the left side of the carpet folded over in order to have a nice carpet transition with the stair case. Folding over the edge of the carpet makes for a very nice clean look along the railing versus having a cut and exposed edge of the carpet showing. In addition to folding the side of the carpet I had to cut the wood stair T- moldings along the side of each bullnose lip by the railing. By doing so I was able to put the mitered corner of the wood T-moldings back together and maintain the wood to carpet look along the side of each stair by the railings. The bottom arch stair really enhanced the look once the carpet was installed.

This is a one bedroom condo I did in Wallingford. The pictures are of the living room and bedroom with steps in between.
