Our New Home: The floors are finished!

Quentin spent many hours buffing, staining, and putting on the polyurethane on our hardwood floors. Days were spent letting it dry between coats and now it's finally done! 

Take a look at our shiny new floors...

Quentin used a basic stain and polyurethane that you can buy at Wal-mart or any home improvement store. He used a paintbrush to get it all on, but you could also use a paint roller.

I liked the "aged" look it has. We learned that Pastor Kemper put in these floors many years ago when he was living here when his kids were young. It will be easy to clean since it covers both the living and dining areas.

We're moving in the furniture into it today! Yahoo! It's been a two-week wait as we've had things piled up in the other rooms, including our many books that will go on a couple of the bookshelves in the living room.

We will be posting more pictures later as each room gets organized and decorated completely. Stay tuned...
