When Eryn Whalen (@eryn_whalen_online) moved from her suburban home to the farmhouse fixer-upper of her homesteading dreams, there was one thing she dreaded leaving behind: her Stoneform floors.
With dogs, cats, and kids, Eryn loved how the Stoneform in her old home never seemed to scratch. So when her family moved into their fixer-upper farmhouse sans Stoneform, Eryn was disappointed. "I was honestly devastated," she said, "walking into this house and seeing the worst floors I'd ever lived on was disheartening". With disaster hiding under her kitchen, it took Eryn years to transform her 100 year old farmhouse, but for her, it was well worth the wait.
Eryn knew she could make this dilapidated space something special: "The moment I stepped into this space, I didn't see her as she was, I saw her as she could be". After three long years of living with rotten floors in her kitchen, she finally started seeing her vision come to life with the help of Stonefom.
Eryn picked Lane from the Galey Alix Elite Stoneform Collection- a mid-tone, warm color with high character and low color variation. Lane was the perfect choice for her farmhouse dreams, adding character and charm. "Its everything I dreamed our kitchen could be and we're not even close to done yet."
Aside from the looks of Lane, the durability was key. The Galey Alix Elite Stoneform Collection boasts a strong 30 Mils wear layer that makes the planks scratch resistant, stain resistant, and waterproof. "I knew (Stoneform) could handle everything our farm throws at it: muddy boots, pets, kids, and all and still look good doing it."
With a stunning blend of durability and beauty, Lane by Galey Alix has helped take Eryn's space to a whole new level. Instead of being terrified she'll fall through the floor each time she washes dishes, now Eryn can feel at home in her own beautiful space and rest assured her floors will stand the test of time.
