While we were in Disneyland, we had the hardwoods refinished. It has been on the To Do list since we moved in, six years ago. We knew they needed to be done, but had never made it a priority. The ugliness finally got to use. While we were at it, we had them upgrade the moulding from dinky little one inch moulding, to a nice three inch moulding. In the corner of the picture above, you can see the new moulding meeting up with the old moulding, which is still in the family room. It is a really nice change! I have fabric for the valances. The yellow doesn’t look so great with the new wall and wood color. Now I just need to time to sew the valances.
Above, you can see my fabric and paint choices. We went with the taupe color on the walls.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way my floors turned out. We had talked about doing a darker color on the floor, but my hubby was afraid it would feel like we were living in a cave. We ended up choosing a brown shade, but on the lighter side. The moulding was stained the same color as the cabinets. I used my flash on these pictures, so the cabinets look a little brighter than they actually are.
The picture below shows the very worn hardwoods BEFORE.
For my neighbors, if you’re interested, we went with All About Hardwoods. Ahhh, I can’t tell you how happy I am with the finished look!

They look so good!!! I can't wait to see them in person! Do you need me to bring a basket of Real Estate "Open House Booties" over to place at the front door? 🙂

The floors look great. There is nothing better than shiny new hard wood floors!
