OMG. Floors.



I think this pretty much covers the shit brown color that covers the floors and some of the walls. OH, and the kitchen tile.

progress in the kitchen.

a good view of the tile and some stripped wood around it. you and still see the shine on the brown floor here. (this was before we started tonight.

so, this is a picture of the piles of peeled paint, on the stripped floor. we have finished the kitchen/dining area. yay! and now we are on to the living room. (keep in mind this is all downstairs-- we haven't even started upstairs yet.


any thoughts out there about sanding? these floors are "top nailed" so we will have to sink all the nails a bit. then sand the shit out of the floor. I was really happy tonight though, because the floors in the living room are SO MUCH BETTER!!! I love the worn rustic look that is going to be the kitchen/dining room, but a more finished and clean looking floor will be better in the living room. okay well... time to brush up, and get to sleep. (the gym comes SO much earlier when you have to drive a half hour to get there!)

ciao!

  2. Who needs the gym -- with all that exercise sanding, stripping etc. you're no doubt burning the calories big time! Mad props to you for all that work - it's going to look great! :)
