This home renovation thing....it's not for the faint at heart or for the hide-in-the-corner type of personality. No, it's a pull up your big girl britches, take charge and grab your hammer type of personality. Trust me, I understand and appreciate the beauty at the end of the project or the light at the end of the tunnel or the tootsie roll in the middle of the tootsie pop. I get it. However, it's all the mud and crap in between that makes the ALL of the difference. The plans that get nixed. The walls that get moved. The material that is back-ordered. The contractors who don't show up. The paint that doesn't look the same as the sample card. I'll stop there before frustration sets in. It's ALSO the pleasure of walking into a newly painted room and seeing the possibilities, the late nights hanging gorgeous light fixtures, the moving furniture in to set up your conversation areas, your kids running through the house on newly installed wood flooring. What JOY! Upon completion you suddenly forget all of the heartache and pain that you just endured - the same way you forget in childbirth as you gaze at your new human. IT IS the same feeling. Such a pride and excitement of what is to come.

I get the most inquiries about my wood flooring. This flooring is my dream come true. It was love at first sight and my love grows stronger every day. This really is THE BEST wood floor around. It was installed by The Woodshop of Texas and they did a fabulous job. It is a Reclaimed French Oak - wide plank variations from 7" to 9" in width. There is a custom LOBA finish on the flooring in a satin feel. It is absolutely awesome with children and cleans up really well while looking as good as it does. This was my splurge and I intend to get it into every room in my house eventually.
I do hope you've enjoyed hearing about the finishes in my home. I will share our Family/Game room soon. We did something super special in this room also and I'd love to share it with you.
Living with No Regrets!
