Chris and I have been hard at work this weekend, not only painting the back of the house, but also getting the first floor ready for hardwood floor refinishing. I went home over lunch today to look at floor colors, and was amazed to see that they already had the floors almost completely stripped. It's amazing to see nearly 90 year old wood look brand new - and very promising. As they put the samples down, the grain looked bold, fresh and new.
Here are some photos as they were wrapping up the last of the stripping, and getting ready to stain.
We opted for just a shade lighter than what our floors currently are, matching the stair treads that we replaced and stained ourselves during our first winter in the house. I think the difference will be very subtle (probably only we will ever know), but I have a feeling our dark woodwork and cabinets will really pop against the new finish. No sample color photos though - you'll have to check back for pics of the floor stained tomorrow!
Recessed register for kitchen floor.
Everything should be stained by the end of today, with the first coat of sealer on and drying. I can't wait to peek at it and get a feel for our fresh new floors.
