The Finished Floor

After much hunting we splurged on the floor we wanted. It’s a white oak, hand scraped matte finish that is durable and will wear nicely with abuse from the dogs’ claws. Putting the floor down only took 4 days beginning to end, and it makes a huge difference. Thanks to the awesome team we had to get it all done so quickly!

Before the crew got there Kyle and I spent a while laying out and placing the first row. Getting that one perfect was key to the rest looking right. We even measured to make sure there wouldn’t be any tiny slivers of flooring on the door edges or along the walls.

This was one of those jobs where it would have been really nice to not be living there already. A good chunk of the time was devoted to moving furniture away from the area being worked on, then back again once it was finished.
