remember the photo above? well all that work of finding pallets and taking them apart paid off. we now have an awesome custom and rustic-looking floor! jake and clint spent all last week planing the boards, cutting them to size, laying and sanding them, then staining and sealing them. we'll put the 2nd coat of sealant on tonight, and then we can move in tomorrow once it is dry!!! notice the window trim has been put up. the color of the stained barn wood softens the shade of green paint.
jake and clint used their creativity and added four small squares near the corners and one large spiral in the center of the floor. the outer edge of the floor as well as the squares and spiral are all painted a darker contrast of stain than the lighter stain used on the rest of the floor. the lighting wasn't very good in the room today as it is grey and dreary outside, so i had trouble portraying the beauty of this floor and the great job that they did in creating it.
i love the width of the shelf on the window. it's wide enough to fill with plants and an herb garden! i am on the lookout for plants and seeds.
i am beyond thrilled to get to move our stuff into our own private bedroom soon. all that is left to be done is one final coat of sealant on the floor, the door trim, baseboard trim, trim around the ceiling rafter, cleaning the window and placing the plates on the outlets and light switch.
