These poor floors! I could say they had been mistreated, used and abused, or even ruined. The kitchen floors definitely were! As for the others? They had simply been NEGLECTED. I have never been overly fond of that cherry wood finish on anything. The trim, floors, and doors were all stained with that same sticky, thick cherry finish. UGH.
NOW for some before and after shots of these beautiful floors!

The color swatches I had to choose from. This was the BEST part.

People, the woodgrain on these floors shocked us all!
Who could have covered up such beautiful wood floors?
The biggest miracle was being able to save the kitchen floors. Years (layers) of nails, tar paper, and linoleum had to be removed.
"Newest" layer of linoleum
"Older" layer of linoleum. At this point we actually doubted that there were wood floors under this mess. This was before we saw the million and one nails embedded in the floor.
TADA!! Miraculous (LOTS of work) happenings around here.
We really found beauty where there was none. To uncover and restore a treasure like these floors was a dream come true for us! The floors came to life , and are now one of my favorite things about
my home.
We used this finish on the floors. The floors turned out to be Douglas Fir wood, and were unusual in that they had no seams- full length planks.
Although the floors were finished quite a while ago, I am just now sharing the transformation.
