Last night we put the first coat on the floor, and what a difference it made. The characteristics of the wood came to life over night. In case I forgot to mention it in the previous blog, we decided to go with a grade 2 white oak. We decided grade 2 for two simple reasons: 1. Cost wise it is cheaper than grade one. 2. The characteristics are amazing. There are a lot more multi-colored boards, with knot holes and all sorts of characteristics. Some people don't care for it, but we love it!
So we are in the home stretch! We have a few more coats to put on and then some dry time before we can replace any furniture, but it is coming along great.
The true confirmation was our four boys walking upstairs this morning to get ready for school and the "wow's" & "awesome's" we heard. It has definitely been a project, but by the end it is all worth it! There are so many advantages to us pulling out that old carpet and placing the hardwood floors. Obviously the beauty, but also the value it adds when we sell our house in the future. And we definitely can't forget the allergens! Our boys should definitely breathe better in our home now, which to me is priceless.
