The finished Floors

Refinishing the floors has been our biggest project so far. It was nice that we had someone else do it and we didn't have to worry about messing it up! It took the guy about 4 days to do it and we are so happy with how they turned out! He had to sand several layers off and was working one night until 3 am! Now if I can keep them looking nice I will be happy. :)
He found a spot that needed to be patched in front of the kitchen
 
This is the patch over the weird secret hiding place.

Craft room on day 2

Master finished!

Love the finished living room! So different from what it looked like before!


The craft room came out the best. Remember the dark square in the middle? Gone!



Finished patch. We don't really love that you can really tell the difference between the old and new wood but what else could we have done? We are hoping the new wood wears a little and starts to blend better over time.

The hallway.
 
Here are the before and after photos:
 
 
 
I thought I should throw in some pictures of the one room we had carpet put in. Much better than the sparkely linoleum right?

The Move

I know I have been neglecting the blog, but we are in the house! We moved in Tuesday night and I have been busy dealing with boxes. Lots and lots of boxes. Sigh. I will catch up on posts soon!
