Hardwood floors are finished....almost finished


It was a busy weekend at our house. The heating and air conditioner man came and is writing up a bid for our new system. Hopefully, that will be installed this month. The dining room is now blue. It did not turn out the color I wanted, but it will be ok once we get furniture in there. This is also the picture for the "before" on the hardwood floors.



Next, Aaron sanded down the floors so the nasty is gone. Except for the "age spots".
Finally, the floors were stained. Next step, painting the trim and then setting the dining room up how I want it!



The Foyer


Below is a picture of the hardwood floors in the foyer.









Then they got sanded.....there are still some bad spots but when your house is built in 1878, you have to expect some stains.



Here is the after version. Once we nice big rug in the center, the age spots won't be as noticable.


The Kitchen

Over the weekend, Aaron got to work on finishing the hardwood floors in the house. Below is a before picture of the hardwood floors.





Here is the after the sanding process was done. It was a little dusty in the house while I was taking pictures, so sorry for the spots. Don't worry, I had a mask on.






Finally he began to stain the floors with the first coat of stain. In two more weeks, the installation of cabinets will begin. :) I love progress.
