The picture hardly does the floor justice. Every time I see the floor, I am just so pleased with how it turned out!
The beauty of these floors was absolutely hidden underneath a bad, bad sanding job and a thick, ugly coat of varnish! I had no idea how gorgeous these floors could be!
As a point of contrast, following is a picture that I took previously this year. It shows the condition of the floor before we refinished it.
That flooring is eerily similar to the wood flooring in my first house. We bought it with red shag carpet and pink walls. Noticed the carpet was only tacked down around the edges, pulled it up, and there was the original hardwood flooring! Cleaning, sanding, staining, varnishing was a huge job but it was *so* gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your beautiful "new" floor!
Beautiful floor-beyond my ability to do. I would not want to put too much furniture in the rooms and cover the floor. Great job.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, Tammy! I know you just love it!
ReplyDeleteTammy, yes, very pretty floor! I'm sure you will love it.
ReplyDeletePretty!!
ReplyDeleteYour floors are beautiful! Mine look worse than your first pic but seeing the difference in yours I will have to think more seriously about redoing mine. Great job!

looks good. =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference! The floors came out so nicely.
ReplyDeleteThat looks just beautiful! Now you're gonna get some nice area rugs...but not too big! Can't cover up that floor! And put felt pads on the feet of all your furniture!
ReplyDeleteYay, Tammy! I know you are soooo excited that your floors are finally finished! They look fantastic :~)
ReplyDeleteWow, the floors look amazing! I bet you're so excited, I know I would be!

Tammy,
ReplyDeleteYour floors look absolutely gorgeous! The color is so warm and rich. I always think it is amazing how just a coat of paint or changing flooring can change a whole room. I cannot wait to see the finished rooms with the furniture back!
I am curious...what color stain did you use on the floor? I really like it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice ! I love the look of wood flooring!
ReplyDeleteOh Tammy! The floor is just beautiful!
ReplyDeletewow, that made such a big difference! we have wood floors like that, but I really want to get carpeting instead of refinishing it right now. our floors are slippery, and i can't wait to carpet them.
ReplyDeleteOooh wow! That really does look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe floors are beautiful!

Thank you, thank you, for all your comments! I have the best blog readers ever. =)
ReplyDeleteWe used a clear varnish for the floors. The wood is oak, and the varnish brought out its natural beauty.
The floors are beautiful, Tammy! You must be nearly done with the whole project -- how very satisfying!! :o)
ReplyDeleteYour floors are just gorgeous! We are currently living in a home with floors just like what yours are now. I love it! I will go kicking and screaming if we move into a home with carpet.
ReplyDeleteWow! That picture is so inspiring! It makes me want to re-do our old floors. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Tammy!
