Floored: Living Room Edition

I honestly cannot believe how amazing the living room floor turned out. It was such a big job, we hired it out. There were so many deep gouges and scratches, I wasn't sure what they'd be able to do... well, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I love the variations in color of our old floor. We asked the crew not to apply any stain, so the colors you see are the natural tones in the wood. Just beautiful. I am thrilled. 

Next up, Steve and I will be repairing the baseboards and installing some sort of shoe moulding. 

This was the last major interior project on our house (defined as requiring displacement of a large volume of belongings and extensive temporary reconfiguration of interior space). There will, of course, be little things to do for time and memoriam. All the same, completion of this project is a huge milestone.
