A Project: Dining Room Floors

Labor Day weekend "we" tackled the first of our New Home Improvement Projects: Refinishing the Dining Room Floor. By "we" I mean Daddy did the floors and the rest of us stayed out of the way. It worked. And Daddy did a SPECTACULAR job.

We pulled up the cream/white carpet in the dining room (Who installs WHITE carpet in a dining room???) and pulled up the padding, and then Daddy rented a sander and got started.

And the finished product!



We are very pleased with the results! There are some deep scratchs that didn't come off, but that's okay. It's part of the charm. And so, so, so much better to feed our children three meals a day in a room with hard wood...not white carpet!
