Step into Spring: A Fresh Start with Seamless Flooring 

Spring is a season of renewal—a time to refresh our homes and embrace new beginnings. For one Metro Atlanta homeowner, this season marked more than just a renovation; it was a step toward healing, comfort, and a fresh start for her family.

Carly Harrington and Miguel Harris, co-owners of family-owned Floor Coverings International of South Atlanta, GA, took this project to heart—not just as experts but as dear friends of the homeowner, who tragically lost her wife. Feeling the loss alongside her, they were deeply committed to creating a space that not only provided stability and continuity but also honored her wife’s memory while making room for new moments of love and warmth. 

A Home in Transition

The homeowner, a young mother raising her two-year-old son, was in the midst of renovations when she tragically lost her wife. What had once been an exciting transformation suddenly became an overwhelming, unfinished project. With a newly built addition on the house, mismatched flooring between the living room and kitchen served as a daily reminder of what was incomplete. She needed more than just a flooring solution; she needed a way to bring harmony, comfort, and a sense of stability back into her daily life.

Seamless Solutions, Thoughtful Touches

Carly, Miguel, and their team at FCI of South Atlanta approached the project with empathy and expertise, focusing on the homeowner’s vision of a unified, stress-free space. The goals were clear: 

  • Extend the kitchen’s tile flooring into the living room to create visual and functional continuity. 
  • Find a backsplash that complemented the new appliances and cabinets, finalizing the kitchen’s transformation. 
  • Address the challenge of uneven flooring levels between the original home and the addition. 

The team sourced the perfect fish scale tile to complete the homeowner’s vision for her backsplash. They also carefully adjusted the subfloor to solve the level discrepancies, guaranteeing a smooth and lasting installation. Throughout the process, the homeowner remained involved, opting to complete the final trim work herself—a personal touch to a deeply meaningful renovation. 

A Space for New Beginnings

For this family, the updated space was more than just a renovation—it was a fresh start. The transformation turned lingering unfinished projects into a home that felt put together, bringing a sense of comfort and renewal—and a perfect way to honor the legacy of a beautiful soul. The homeowner’s son, too young to put his emotions in words, gave the most meaningful review—a video of him gleefully dancing across the new tile floors, a moment of pure joy that captured the true heart of the project.
