Back Bedroom

The floors in the back bedroom was a real challenge. Once I pulled the carpet up, the floors had the origional floor paint on them that had to be sanded off. Let me tell you that IT WAS A REAL PAIN but well worth it.

I wish I would have taken a pic of the floor paint but I made a real mess of the lathe and plaster during the demolision.

The first pic shows the newly sanded floors.

    Just found your blog and i am this far back (half reading, mostly skimming at moment) love it. This post brings up a question i have, what brand of wood filler did you use, i ask since it apears it stained decently well and any wood fillers i have found simply don't accept the stain or varnish stain a fraction as well as the wood does leaving horible bright marks where i used filler (often making me regret using filler on projects).

    So what brand of filler did you use, or have you used that you find acturaly works rather well for being able to stain?

    Thanks.

    The floor, with the door and windows, looks more exceptional after being sanded off, stained and coated. Please don't put a carpet. It looks good bare.
