a big project



i said goodbye to my georgous white floor





as well as the yucky green flooring that was in the 
kitchen when we bought the house



we bought sanded plywood




with the plan being to paint it a concrete look



after buying all the supplies and thinking way too much about how long it was going to take--i changed my mind




so...i returned all the painting supplies and began the very long and stressful job of choosing a stain color



we filled in nail holes and cracks, sanded the wood filler that filled in the nail holes and cracks, wiped down the floor a couple times and began staining



4 different stain color's and 4 coats of polyurethane later--- 



the finished project



it wasn't what i was hoping for, but it's growing on me (a little)



still deciding what to do about the vent covers




 we'll be adding trim around the baseboards at some point


thankful for a new, clean floor
