I wanted to give an update on the hardwood project I talked about a few months ago. Here's a recap: After living in this house since February of 2011, I have despised my carpets. They were cheap, light gray and stained. Every single time I vacuumed them, so much fuzz came up that my vacuum would jam, and they were impossible to clean. So after saving up some money, Sam and I decided we were going to put laminate down. It wasn't exactly what we wanted but Titus was starting to crawl and we had to do something. In measuring our square footage Sam decided to take a peek underneath the carpet, and what did we find? Beautiful oak hardwood. Ok, so come to find out it wasn't so beautiful...but the sheer fact that it was under there
was.
So with the little money we had saved up we decided to refinish them. This was a back and forth struggle of whether we were going to attempt to do it ourselves, or just pay to have it done. In the end, we decided it was best to pay, and that way we would know it was done right. So that's what we did. Our re-finishers were fast, quick and fairly priced. (Around $2.50/sq ft. sanded, stained and finished)
Its AMAZING what a little hardwood can do in a house.
Prayers answered.
Next up, the yellow room is turning Tiffany blue :) And I'm working on some crazy cool curtains. I'll update when they are done!
