English Chestnut Up Close and Personal

How old is your house, it looks cool.

Our "4 bedroom with the BMW parked out front" was built in 1909. I have carpet over the floor of two of the bedrooms and some idiot but a lamanent under that. I'd like to go back because those rooms have all the old school class and charm with the moldings and what not. Cool stuff. Looks like you are doing good work.

Our house was built in 1949. It seems that the wood floors only extend into the dinning room. A bedroom that extends throught the same portion of the house has wood floors as well, but the living room does not. This leads me to believe that the kitchen doesn't either. So when we do the kitchen in a few years, I don't think we'll find wood floors.

Thanks, The floors aren't perfect, you can see a few edge sander marks, but I think it gives it some character. Not too bad for my first ever floor refinishing.

Those floors are looking good. Were the walls orange to begin with or was that your doing?
