All Natural Baby!

So this past weekend I got what I have been wanting since we moved into our house almost 4 years ago...my floors being refinished! And I must say, they look amazing! We originally were going to go with a darker color but once I saw the floors natural color I quickly changed my mind. I also think with having three kids and three dogs, the dark color may have been a bad choice.

But I am so happy with my decision! I no longer have to live with beat up basketball floors. They are nice and even! Oh and I also went with a satin poly. I love how they have a little bit of shine but  not too much!

Here are some before pictures...

The previous owners had carpet over these beauties! How dare them! I know, I know...they don't really look like beauties but I love me some hardwood floors. I still do not understand why people would cover them up! So needless to say, I have lived with them like this for way too long!

Thanks to my love and one of our close friends, my floors went from that to this...

sorry for the dirty floors!

I love how every board has its own color! That shows just how natural and true these hardwoods are. I love every part of it! There was only one downfall to going natural. I have no idea what the previous owners did to the floors but there is one spot that just never went away. Well when I say one spot, it is pretty big. But to me it just adds to the floors! Maybe one day, if we decide to stay in this house, we will stain them darker! But who knows! I love them!

Oh and this little project only coat us just shy of $275. Pretty sweet! It pays to know some handy men!
