Last Spring we had the original fir floors upstairs refinished (
click here for that post) and always planned to have the main level floors refinished this year. After painting all the rooms on the main level, it was finally go-time for the floors.
Under tiles (many cracked), linoleum and layers of paint we found beautiful, original fir floors throughout the main level. There were a few old, improper patches that had to be addressed and patch correctly with fir. What would a home improvement project be without a few surprises?
Here's a look at the transformation:

You are SO lucky to have found such beautiful floors under that tile. I'm still wondering what we'll find under our linoleum floors.
ReplyDeleteWow- especially under the tile in the entry way. Really, nice work.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! It's amazing such an impact that new (old) floors can have.
