Some of the furniture from the second floor has been "stored" on the first floor and in an enclosure where we usually store our summer furniture which of course means the summer furniture is still out. The whole house is a mess. I miss cleaning my house, rearranging things and having company. I wanted to do the kitchen next but I truthfully don't know if I can live through this again. We have been pricing flooring for 3 bedrooms and a hall and found out it will be another $3,000. I want it finished so we can sell and move to a warmer state. Good luck with your renovations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-66542612019265748862014-10-26T07:51:55.179-04:002014-10-26T07:51:55.179-04:00The kitchen is going to be gorgeous!

I can't imagine having to have them redone again, but now you've got exactly what you should've had originally! I love the moulding too.

The floors are looking beautiful now!! Your trim work is lovely, too. It really does add a lot of character and class when you go the extra mile with trim. I know it has been a long haul but it will be SOOO worth it when all is said and done. <br /><br />We went with a Swedish Finish on this floor (I had it on another floor and loved it) and it has not been good on this floor at all. It is scratched and even though the floors are a mid tone the scratching still shows up. We will have to rebuff everything at some point and put a sealer on it. <br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-9576419387557301022014-10-24T22:34:25.863-04:002014-10-24T22:34:25.863-04:00The floors look gorgeous and I <3 those molding...The floors look gorgeous and I <3 those molding details...thinking of upgrading my own home with some added moldings around the doors and windows.Debra Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526288782681083198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-50846667861704175722014-10-24T21:00:35.217-04:002014-10-24T21:00:35.217-04:00Looking beautiful!Looking beautiful!Ms. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263882972749791087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-17321670178437592702014-10-24T20:47:42.090-04:002014-10-24T20:47:42.090-04:00Oh your floors are stunning - what a great fix to ...Oh your floors are stunning - what a great fix to blending so well - glad you stuck to your guns.
