So, I haven't blogged for awhile but there is a reason. The reason is our living room floor. When we last left you we were excited to begin sanding, staining and varnishing our living room floor so that the entry way into our house would be done. Well we spent a weekend sanding the old floor down to the bare wood. We had to rent two different sanders as well as an edge sander. Then we had to use a hand sander to take out any gouge marks from the edge sander (which we called "the destructor"). In short we did a lot of sanding. Then we were ready to stain. We went over and over which stain to use to match, or at least come close to, our stair treads. We tried plain stains, we tried mixing some stains. We tried everything and finally found one that we thought looked good. So then we stained. We did it in the evening, when the kids were in bed, so that it could try and air out over night. And this is what it looked like:
