The Marmoleum arrived, and here below are a few photos showing how it gets installed. We were impressed with the care our installer used. The final product looks great, and it fits our kitchen space nicely.
The yellow window frame in this bath and yellow-stripe marmoleum are bright elements in this small room. Marmoleum has anti-bacterial properties, which make it a good choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
For the main level and bedroom levels we chose pre-finished, engineered maple flooring. Hardwood is the wear-surface, and faster-growing wood are base layers. It was pre-finished for a harder surface, faster installation, and our team of builders do not need to breathe in any varnish.
Now for a little fun – Conway’s Game of Life, executed in Marmoleum for the attic floor!
Birch plywood panels cover the attic ceiling. It was an elevated challenge to install them. The finished result, where the tan Marmoleum meets the birch lends an elegant touch to a simple space.
As we post this, winter blankets us with a thick layer of spring-snow. Sweet Tree Passive House stays about the same temperature no matter the weather. Spring is aaaallllmmmooossst here. The extended spring season also makes a longer maple-sugaring season for our sweet maple trees, so there is a sweet lining to the chilly weather.
Here’s a little sweet cheer:
Sweet Tree Passive House 
Can’t wait to see in person. A very intricate home full of many thoughtful decisions. I hope to do wood floors this year and go for pre finished too. Sick of carpet wearing out and it going to the landfill. Cork by the way did not turn out to be a good decision.

We welcome your visit! It is good to know about your experience with cork. The marmoleum in our attic has a layer of cork to give it some cushion. We are sick of carpet issues, too! Having area rugs is a much better choice. We use small cotton rugs at doorways and the kitchen sink now. They are easy to wash.
