We ripped out the engineered floor that was installed on top of original pine floors in kitchen and laundry room. It didn't match and it created two different levels. Stanley Steemer will be sanding down all the original floors on the first floor. Paper backing and glue in forefront from old linoleum will get sanded off. Floors in the front rooms look okay at first glance (it's a theme with this house) but have quite a bit spilled paint and polyurethane and the dark oil based varnish really darkened the pine. We will attempt to match it all and lighten it a bit. Maybe a light white wash? Stay tuned on this one.
Oddly enough there is a section of flooring running the opposite direction also. We're calling it character and going with it. We were actually pleasantly surprised at the condition we found the floors in underneath the engineered floor.
New Paint color throughout house, a nice creamy white by Benjamin Moore called Vermont Cream. Living room and bedroom done so far with one coat in kitchen. I was surprised how much it took to cover the cafe au lait tan that was already there. Painting every room in the house a different color is a thing of the past. In this small space consistent flow from one space to the next is a must. I will have 2 paint colors: one wall and one trim. Much of the trim was already painted a reasonable color which we'll keep Valspar Swiss Coffee.
