Knock On Wood

And so it begins! The floors are in and being prepped for oiling as we speak. There are some uneven edges and there has been one very quiet guy here all morning planing down the edges so nobody gets bumped. And, he is using little pieces of sandpaper and hand sanding the entire floor. No kidding!!

Anyway...here's the entry foyer...(no baseboards yet)






the steps up to the living room......

the family room......(these walls are very textured...3 kind of a sand color with a shade darker glaze and 1 dark green with a black glaze. I know, but it's neater than it sounds)

And out of all of these boards, this is my favorite. We used it in the foyer right as you come in the door. It's pretty long, but I had to show you the close up of the saw marks and nail holes! Love those. Now we have 3 more days of oil..one coat per day...and hopefully carpet & baseboards next week. Dare I say...almost finished??? Ack.

New foyer light...just a touch of saloon, right??

And since I can't get any of my Fall or Halloween stuff out, I made this cool box for one of my Ebay winners. Look at this little girls face...priceless! She looks like she wants to beat the snot out of somebody...

So, there you have it...another day and a bit of progress. I hope, I hope, I hope.....
