I had two reactions to this tutorial. 1) That looks good! I wonder how it would hold up with my big dog running around if I do this floor… 2) OMG you have my light! 😀 That’s my dining area light. I’m unreasonably excited to see it in someone else’s house too.

I love the color of the stain. What is it? Also what type of sealer did you use?

Sorry one more question…how thick are your boards and how wide?
Thank you so much!!

Hi! I’m in love with this floor! And your tutorial is exactly what I spent half the night looking for:) Thank you x a million!
I have a few questions if you don’t mind…first how are the gaps between the planks now? Are they bigger? And is it hard to sweep with them?
Would you recommend doing your whole main living area this way?

Thanks again:)

[…] The floor was a mess, as you can see in the before pic. We wished that we could have kept the original wood floor, but whatever adhesive they had used ages ago was nearly impossible to remove. While we managed to refinish the original floors in other rooms, the entry was unsalveageable. Check out how we refinished the floor into a planked floor. […]

Hi Jen, Love the transformation so far! I’m wondering where you found the light fixture and what yellow paint color you used for your console table. Thanks!

In reply to cindy.

Hi Cindy
This is Mr. Jennifer. The original floor (that Jennifer will talk about in a different post) is tongue-in-groove pine. We couldn’t get it out without breaking it because the mastik (or mastik-looking) linoleum adhesive made it impossible to pull the boards apart. And the way they nail the boards in, it would have been difficult to pry the nails out without splitting them. The 100-year-old boards are (understandably) pretty dry and crack easily.

But I like that idea! We used that idea to patch a problem area in another room … but that’s another post for Jennifer to tell you about!
