They are done. And they are perfect.
Virtuoso Hardwoods did a completely breathtaking job on the floors. They are incredible.
There won’t be a lot of words in this post, because they really make me speechless. I can’t add anything to the pictures, really.
Our neighbors lent us this baby-gate to keep the dogs off the floors (it’s a swing door between the Dining Room and Butler’s Pantry. So, when it was drying, I pushed the swing door open, so we could at least peek in….
This is the most terrible film-making. Ever. I wanted to film the first time I could walk on the floor and see it, and it might make you a little nauseous. But, it’s cute how I can’t focus on anything because I’m so excited, so I’m putting it in the blog post. Also, I say on it that I’ll do another tour when it’s sunny, and I don’t. Oops.
It’s incredible.
Old on the left, new on the right.
The Entrance Hall is all original floors, with some repairs where the rot was.
Entrance Hall Before (Seriously. I COULD NOT find a floor-focused before picture – Apparently all I care about is the Stairwell). This is the best I could do! Happy Christmas in July!

We’re just so excited!!!!
It’s going to be a while before we move furniture back down – because it makes sense to keep everything clear while we do the builds for the Library. But, we definitely had a picnic in the Parlor to celebrate!
Dinner was “Easy to Eat on the Floor Mac and Cheese.”
And Dessert was “Cast Iron S’mores Dip.” So good.
Sigh. It is amazing with giant projects are done.
It’s just so lovely. We couldn’t be happier!
