Housing Project - prep

It seems that we are never done with projects in the Wicker household. This labor day we undertook the resurfacing of our dining room. The carpet in our house is as old as the hills and we've been wanting to do something about it forever. Forever became reality with a 1/2 price flooring sale at our local flooring store. We set aside Labor day as the day to put in our new floor. Well, prep work always takes longer than expected so we were still finishing on Wed. But I'm delighted with how they turned out.

It was incredibly dirty under our carpet. The house just feels cleaner now:-)

As we suspected, there were hardwood floors underneath; however, they were not installed with finishing in mind. They were also terribly stained from spills that had leaked through the carpet. Although they don't look bad in the picture -- they are!
