~floor reveal~

Hello there friends!

I'm so excited to be able to show you our new flooring

in our master bedroom!!!

In case you didn't read my last post....

I got some fir planks (tongue & groove)

off my fav craigslist....F r E e!

about 700ish ft2

what to do

what to do

I'm thinking.....

I was actually looking for paneling.....

so I could do a bedroom like this

but when I found the paneling

and looked at the backside....

the wheels started turning....& I was like "hey....look at this....hmmmmm....

looks like a possible flooring solution for our upstairs......"

I'm still really liking the paneling idea because

I love this bedroom, but with

Sadie pooch being...you know....a little "pee-body"

our flooring became more of a priority you might say.....

so out with the revolting old carpet

not without a little happy dance from my raggamuffins girls!! :o)

(with the headless papa in the background) hee hee

the sweet neighbor boy "TJ" was down in a heartbeat

to help rip up carpet as soon as Madi posted our plan on facebook!

me thinks "TJ" has a little crush on my Madi.......

Too young for all that but he's a sweet kid & lots of fun ....

continuing on..

here's my sweet "are we really doing another project honey..." husband

so diligently finishing up sanding....sanding....sanding...sanding....

so we can move back in....

poor guy suffered from temporary hearing issues from that dumb machine.....it came back after a couple weeks though...

I'm kidding!!! After only a couple days!!

I know..not funny...

just a little...not really...

;-)

most of you probably saw this raw, unfinished floor picture

I really liked the pale color of the wood

BUT

it darkened up a bit w/ the clear finish we put on.

that's ok...now it matches the flooring downstairs pretty well....and we have enough wood to do 3

bedrooms and the hallway (our bedroom & hallway are done...need to do 2 more) a little later.....  ;-0

so here's another shot of the finished floor.....

so now the decorating begins....

only because we are all friends here, I'll show you what I'm starting with

very boring..................not much you might say.............for some reason

our bedroom has always been last on the list to get attention.....

white walls which I freshened up until I can figure out what I want to do...

a black & white toile lamp

a white wicker nightstand

a big fat bed

a window over the bed...I'm not planning on using it

at least not in it's current color

That's it so far!!!

I do have a VERY cute creamy painted antique dresser

I would love to use

&

well...that's it!

do you all remember my rustic walls downstairs?

in case you don't.....here's what they look like

I'm thinking of doing a rustic plaster look similar to this above....

you may be thinking "what about the paneling???"

remember my decorating ADD? it's bad.

since I'm in a hurry.....well....I'm thinking plaster

and because I love this look

this is off Lilla Blanka's blog

her Christmas post

I love that wall! I know it's probably a bit more rustic

than I want but I love the feel.....

anyway.....so that's what I'll probably do on the walls

and as for bedding.....

I'm going to start looking!

and

I have a super cool antique wooden door that I'm thinking about using

for a headboard!

and

I want to do the whole frenchy nordic look so.....

I need to start scouting the thrift stores, Monticello and more

to find awesome accessories.

I'll keep you posted!

have an awesome weekend!
