Home Renovation Project: Attic Conversion: First Look at Attic Hardwoods
Kristy and I (and Kristy's brother Scott) spent the day cleaning up the attic... getting everything off the floor and moved down to the dumpster, or to the garage, or on top of the window seats. We wouldn't to take a good long look at the quality of the attic wood floors. We are sad to report that they don't look too great when carefully examined. The stain application is very uneven and does not have the "depth" that our wood floors downstairs have.

As a result, we have decided to have the floors completely redone while we are on vacation next week in Phoenix (visiting Kristy's sister). We think that the results can be improved because I was able to contact our previous floor sub contractor and get the exact two-step dye/stain combination that was used to get the even results that exist on the downstairs hardwood floors.

I did snap a few pictures of the attic area... it's so close that we hate to take this drastic step of re-sanding down the floors and having the stain and finish redone. But, we really don't want any regrets. Enjoy!

Here are a couple of pictures of the new powder bathroom fixtures:
