Refinishing Floors Part 2:

Well its been about a year since we took on the upstairs loft area and refinished the floors and I figured it was high time we started a new room. In total we plan on refinishing the master bedroom and guest bedroom floors but for now we are just taking on the guest bedroom. 

Refinishing floors is tough work! From my previous experience its one layer of latex, one layer of lead based and  the top clear coat. 


Boy was I happy to see that old carpet go out the door. 


With most home renovation projects, it wouldn't be a proper project without a snag. 


No, thats not static your seeing. It seems this was some sort of children's room and at some point they decided to squeeze big globs of paint all over the floor. 

Luckily I have my Paint Scrapping team to the rescue. 


Were now a day into it all and still have a lot left to do, but things are starting to look up.

  1. Victoria,

    That is one big undertaking. Are you scraping all the paint off by hand? The room will look 100 percent better with the hard wood floors. We had our floors professionally done when we moved in but between the dogs and some water damage (don't ask) I am going to have to redo a few areas in all my 'free' time!

    Your Friend,

  3. Oh gosh! What were they thinking painting the floor in the first place but then the paint drippings are the worst! Make sure you get enough fresh air, don't need you loopy forever.

    Have a great week,
    Kathy
