ceiling job, we decided it was the perfect time to repaint the walls--same color, but now all clean & fresh looking.

Absolutely lovely! Do you seal them?
ReplyDeleteI'm totally intrigued by painting floors! *Ü*

Love your floor! What type of paint and finish are you using on it?
ReplyDeleteThe floor is beautiful! Great job! Hugs, Bobbi Jo
ReplyDeleteIt is going to look great. Can't wait to see it when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteRuth
It looks SO beautiful and charming - can't wait to see more results. Too bad you don't have more things to do...ha.

Looks great!
ReplyDeleteIs it tongue and groove flooring?
ReplyDeleteHow are you going to protect it from scratches or are you going for the worn look? I am curious as we have a huge room 20x30 (bedroom) that has yucky carpet. Hubby wants new carpet and I want hardwood floors on a beer budget!:(
I have thought of just using 1x6 and 1x8 and 1x12 in number 2 pine and varying the widths across the floor. (it's plywood below the carpet now)
Let me know what you did....thanks!
Oh I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe floor looks perfect! So fitting with the rest of the house!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love the floor!!! wish i had thought of that.
ReplyDeleteThe floor looks so great! I'd also like to know how you did it because we just painted our porch floor & it didn't turn out so well!
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks so beautiful Deb and full of charm :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Absolutely Beauitful!!! One question, what kind of paint did you use to avoid lots of scratches and chips, and what do you use to clean it. One more question, what kind of planks did he use? Thanks, and have a wonderful day.

I want a floor like that! Doesnt it look great!
ReplyDeleteThe floor is beautiful, I love painted floors.
ReplyDeleteOh, I WANT that floor. Looks so cool and cottage-y and refreshing. mmm! Enjoy (after all the hard work!!)
ReplyDeleteI'm an admirer from afar. Love the flooring, the sewing projects, the chickens...
ReplyDeleteThat floor is gorgeous. I can't afford hardwood for all of my house right now, but I love it and need it desperately. I, too, am wondering what kind of planks you used and what kind of paint you chose.
ReplyDeleteOH I love wood floors. They look just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to have a handy husband? What a blessing.
Beautiful floors! I love the wide plank floors too! Can't wait to see the finished project. Please share with us. :)

ReplyDeleteWell Done Deb, flooring and room look great, I love the colour
ReplyDeleteI looooooove it!I love the painted floors. I would have mine white if my dh cared to not bring his muddy shoes in! I guess it will have to stay red.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! Pat dh on the back for me!
It looks so nice! I have all wood flooring and I just love it.
ReplyDeleteThat stained glass is gorgeous. Good job with the floor! I wanted to tell you that I’m hosting an incredible giveaway for a $195 EZ View Desktop on my blog. Come on over and enter!

It's terrific! Is it a laminate or real wood with paint finish?
ReplyDeleteJody
Must be that time of year. I'm doing the same (not painting floors), but painting walls and putting in wood flooring. I love how you did your flooring. It's Very Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of the stained glass! It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe flooring looks wonderful!
