New Flooring – Part II

I posted about the first two days of our new flooring last Thursday morning. The project was completely finished by Thursday evening and we moved the furniture back into the room on Friday morning. Our cats were leery about leaving the basement where they had been sequestered since Tuesday morning and been terrified by the noises overhead….but food and treats being moved back to the normal place in the kitchen were enough to entice them upstairs. The new floor made the kitchen a ‘new’ place for them and I think it did for me a little as well. I still am surprised at how much the new floor changes the look and feel of the room --- and it all for the better.

The wood floor in the entry, my husband’s office and the half bath is wonderful too. We’ve moved the furniture back to his office but not all the computers – so far. The room looks large! We bought a new mat for his office chair – one that is smooth on the back rather than with little nubs for carpeting. I need to remember to take the knots out of the sheers before we move too many other things back into the room.  The items on the shelves were covered with plastic during the sanding; even the Darth Vader came through in find shape!

Now that the project is done – I’m asking myself why I waited so long to have it done!
