One room down!!
One room at a time, right? Well, we have ONE room done!! The guest bathroom (read my bathroom since I love a tub more than anything) now has a beautiful floor, a cool ceiling, neat walls, a huge tub, and an awesome vanity and sink. The flooring will be continued throughout the house with different looks in each area. Probably solid gray in the hallway, a combination of colors in the kitchen, not sure about the rest. It will be pretty though! Here are the steps we took from start to finish: So we used some wood my mother in law had left over from doing her own bathroom a few years back. It is western cedar and gives the room a "spa like" feel. We used new pine 1x6 tongue and groove for the flooring. The different colors were stained individually, allowed to dry overnight, and then cut into the floor the next morning. The floor was then covered with a special polyurethane just for floors. 2 coats seemed to be about right. The ceiling is reclaimed
