After the floors were sanded and prepped, it was time to stain!



Next, the first of three coats of polyurethane was applied.



Final coat still drying...



.... and the results are already evident! 



We'll have to give them a few days to dry and cure before we can finish our touch-ups.

Meanwhile...

Remember, the closets we took out to make two rooms one large master suite?  Well that was months and months ago--October, 2007--and now it's time to keep our momentum going!  While we're waiting on the floors, work begins, um, continues, in the master suite.  The plan is to create a wall to divide the space into a bedroom and sitting room (think den) while keeping the space open and spacious.  Lots of work to do, but after months of thinking about it, it's time to start.

The room is 12 feet wide by 26 feet long.  The sitting room space will be approximately 12' X 14' making the bedroom space about 12' X 12'.  First, a frame is constructed. 



This will serve as a "divider" between the two spaces.



On the sitting room side, the wall will be used to mount a television...



...while on the bedroom side, the headboard for the bed will be built onto it.



It's a huge undertaking but hopefully the end result will be just what this space needs.

Stay tuned!
