Baseboard trim in the dining room

Check out the baseboard trim ...

This old house has a bunch of these vintage, wood grates. Eventually, we'll repair the broken parts of this one and repaint it.

The room looks so much better with the trim!

White chair covers ...

Found 4 white chair covers and decided to use them in the dining room ...

lovely.

English Chestnut

Check out that hardwood floor! It was by far the most challenging project we took on - I love the color and the feel it adds to this old house.

Stain: English Chestnut by Minwax

Before and after - the front room.

{Before} ...
{After} ...

The floor

Check out that floor - :) Eventually, we'll put a pellet stove in the right hand corner...!
And we'll snuggle up and sip hot chocolate and enjoy every moment. I can hardly wait to get moved in!

The finishing touch on the floors ...

We still need to add all the trim in the house and finish a few entry ways ... We're making our way through the 'to do' list!

I sat down ... and took a photo of my feet in socks! After we put on the first coat of finish, it was 'socks on' for walking on the floors or working on them.

A clear finish for the floors - this stuff dries really fast and makes the floors look gorgeous.

Sanding the floor (again) this time with a very fine grade of sandpaper to get the floor smooth. You do this between each layer of finish. We are going to add the third and final coat of finish to the floors ... today maybe?!

Upstairs bedroom ....

Another upstairs bedroom ... Love the shine on the floor. :)

Refinishing the hardwood floors - The dining room

The dining room with English Chestnut stain on the floors...

Another view

The hardwood floors in the front room and dining room are finally ready for the stain ... I really like the dark color.

The floor upstairs ...

Look at that old wood floor ...

Look at that working Superman :) ...

Check out the new color :) ...

PS: This refinish the floor project has been crazy, stressful and at times very funny.
I'm in no hurry to do this again (ever).

Upstairs room #1 - Staining the hardwood floor

The floor is sanded. It's been vacuumed, scrubbed and mopped :) ...
Time for some color!

Love the color ...

The Mariner room upstairs ...

English Chestnut - the stain for the floor ...

Look! A ton of a work ...

That's it - go get it!

I have dreams at night that look like this ... :)
And I am standing there trying to decide what to get.
