My crazy self and my crazier husband decided to rip the carpet out of our front room Thursday afternoon. We had no idea what we'd find underneath, other than that we knew it was hardwood. What a job!!
Well, it is hardwood, and it looks like it's never had a thing done to maintain it since the house was built 60 years ago. It's a little rough, to say the least. And the guy who fixed up the house before we bought it knew he had no intention of refinishing the floor, so he let all his drywall compound and paint fall all over it! Denis and I have been scraping and scrubbing for two days, but overall, it actually doesn't look half bad. Anything looks better than a white carpet that's been trampled by kids for 3 years.
We're going to have it sanded and refinished in the spring.

Ohh wow thats neat. The house we are moving in next month has all hardwood floors and the house was built in 1909

Oh, but Anji! It's going to be beautiful! Sand it, stain it, polyurathene it and you're done!

My grandmother used to wax our hardwood floors all the time. We don't have have to! Just get them looking the way you want and the poly! You'll have beautiful hardwood floors for life! Which I like with area rugs better than wall-to-wall carpet.

I think you're gonna be so happy once all the back breaking labor's done.

I agree, Anji, you're going to love it! At least waaaaay more than white carpet! I know exactly how you felt about that one! I ripped very light beige carpet out all by myself knowing full well that there was only concrete underneath. I didn't care. I was so sick of trying to clean up after kids and dogs on that carpet! That was about a month ago now and we're still using just concrete with a large area rug. Hubby wants hard or laminate wood... I don't really care... I'd be happy staining & sealing the concrete and calling it good.

Oh, it already makes me SO much happier every time I walk into the room!
It's warm, cozy and golden in there now. And we did find a little area rug on sale, so it looks pretty darned good now. When we're able to refinish, it's gonna be amazing!
