Polyurethane changed my world! *Pictures*


We have the most beautiful hardwood floors in our 1910 house, I mean beautiful. The only problem? There are quiet a few splintered parts, and we couldn't figure out how to seal them without completely destroying the charm of the aged wood. Everywhere we turned, everyone was telling us we needed to sand and re-stain the floors. We really didn't have a problem with all the work, but we just didn't want to re stain the floors because the wood has aged to the most beautiful color and richness we just wanted to keep that but loose the splinters.

After a few weeks of debate, we finally just went for it. On Labor day we put polyurethane on the master bedroom floor, no sanding and we were so happy and over the moon at the results! The beauty of the floors show and every board is different and perfect. The both of us are just so excited about this we can't wait to do it to the rest of the house! As a bonus, finishing the master bedroom floor means that room is just about done! All we have to do is re-calk the room and add crown molding around the baseboards and around the ceiling. Life is good. :-)
