These old floors - picture time people!

Ah, alas - the flooring project is complete. We're officially floored (cheesy pun? I couldn't resist) with the results. Our wallets are also officially screaming from the pain. Like, holy hell. Flooring isn't cheap ladies and gents. The good news is, it's done and it won't need to be done again for a LONG, LONG time. The floors are pre-finished, but they're also solid (vs engineered) so we do have the option of sanding them down and re-staining once they've been ravaged by pets, shoes and maybe (eventually!) kids and toys....

Please, enjoy the entire adventure in photos.....

Arrival day. Doesn't look like much, but you're look at roughly 1800 square feet of new flooring....


Down she goes!


Dinning room take over:


If you know me well, you know the photo below caused/causes me major anxiety. My precious vintage sofa!



Dinning room almost finished!


Saving vintage features:


The original staircase was dismantled and put back together. We aim to keep as many of the original features as possible.


That's a wrap folks! Special thanks belongs to our amazing friends, Lindsay & Gio as well as our amazing contractor Dan. We couldn't be happier with the results!
