It's November...
and we're doing some pre-Christmas renovations.
My hubby is putting a pine floor in our living room...
yes, you heard correctly.
We (I) decided to cover over the white painted wood floor.
Don't get me wrong, I still love white floors,
but to make a long story short..
just really love the look of pine floor and find it to be a bit more practical for our family.
My hubby buys and cuts the pine boards to fit,
and does his work,
and then I condition the wood, then stain it and put the seal coats on top.
;)
As you can see ....the white paint that covered our old wooden,
smaller slat wood floor will be covered over.
I have chosen a sun-bleached grey stain, and I am excited about it.
It should bring a softness in here
to add to the white.
I (finally) painted our French doors
an "antique white"
which is my favourite colour of paint for our walls.
We'll finally get to actually see through the windows!
;)
(here..before the paint)
The antique white brings such a creaminess...
I personally love it!
The top is the painted section...the bottom is just primer.
My oldest son took the trip down here
to bring us our brand new Ikea sofa!
They don't deliver here, so he rented a van and brought it here for us!
I know..what a sweetheart he is!
I can't even begin to tell you how sweet he is! ;)
Anyway the couch is still in the box..no sense taking it out
before the floor is completed.
Im hoping, praying, that we have this completed for Christmas.
In between work, play, and life....hope it is finished!
I cant wait to decorate gently for the holidays!
The natural greens of winter with the creamy whites is breath taking...
And then there's the tree-hunting!
Love it!
Christmas tree decking...
The baking...
love shortbread!
Ok so I a d o r e Christmas!
How about you?
Are you preparing already?
All my heart,
Deborah xoxo
