I guess I'm afraid of doing my own demolition. You never know what your going to pull up (lead asbestos who knows). My suggestion is that you replace the loose parquet tiles with new unfinished oak parquet - sand and strip the entire floor - then stain a beautiful chocolate or ebony. it seems easier to rent a floor sander than a jackhammer. Check out some of the stained parquet floors in Kelly Hoppen's Kelly Hoppen Style.

Hi Kelly,
I think the real problem is in thinking that you can't change anything because you are renting. Renters sometimes take on these restrictions when they don't really exist. If you ask the landlord to change the sink and toilet to white - offer to pay for the fixtures - maybe he/she will take on the labor cost. A quick trip to Home Depot with $200-$250 will go a long way. The conversation with your lanlord might get them thinking about raising the value of their property. Whatever the answer, I think it is unacceptable to pay these crazy rents for a space that you can't make your own.
Viva la Renter
