WE ARE MOVED IN! The last major projects for a while are compete - kitchen, wood floor in living room, furniture. We still have the office, 1st floor bath, and guest room to finish. The main living spaces are livable. YAY! Here are a few pictures....

Bundles O' Wood! We got our hickory flooring straight from the mill in southern Indiana. If anyone wants the info let me know! They were very fairly priced and knowledgeable.




 
 
Since the wood had lots of "character" aka knots we used a putty recommended and sold by the mill. So just to clarify we did not have black patchy floors!
Putty in pre stain/clear coat.

Here is the furniture we have in the living room and dining room so far...

I know you will ALL WANT this table - found and gifted by Melissa - from an antique mall. It weighs about 100 pounds (solid metal) and reminds me of the empire state building. We moved it from the kitchen to the dining area to serve as a sideboard to the dining room.


   
Looking from the mudroom to the living/dining area you can see how long the room is.
 

 Kitchen still needs some finish trim work and tile back splash.

  1. I LOVE the flooring! I went with hickory in our kitchen a few years ago, and its great. Did you use a caulk as the transition from the tile or something else? I'm tiling 2 bathrooms and putting bamboo down everywhere else, and I'm undecided on my transitions so far...
