Floors = Done!

Jim 1 and Jim 2 (father and son) came to sand, stain and poly finish the floors in our kitchen, hallway and back closet. In preparation, appliances and kitchen bench were moved to the living room. I've lost track now of how many different home items have been stored in our living    room at one  point during our home renovation... probably close to every item in the house!



Kitchen floors before - old 1923 floors (that had been painted light blue in some areas... classy!) and some new pine boards that dad added to replace rotted or torn up old boards.

Is this what they call a "shabby chic" look?

Isn't this incredible? I doubted whether it would be possible to save these floors, but wow, don't they look great! Like new! More photos to come in the "finished kitchen" album...
