Kitchen Floor - Getting There

Okay, so last night I sanded the outside of the room, puttied the blemishes and cleaned up a little. I thought I would go back and do some before and almost after's with you today.

Here is what the kitchen looked like before we started

And here is a better view of that floor that it had when we started. The pictures I had in that previous post had that red stuff on it. We still aren't sure what that was. Someone had spilled something on that part of the floor or something. You can see it on the floor in that first before picture.

Here's a few pictures that I took last night

As you can tell in the picture above, we removed the door on the right. The bedroom did not have a closet so we removed that pantry door and opened it to the bedroom. That wasn't a big deal, since they built me that wonderful floor to ceiling pantry on the left.

The dark marks on the floor are just still damp from where I mopped. Also, the cabinets and pantry do have doors, I promise, and we have drawers as well, they're just not installed yet.

My little kitchen is really coming along. By this time next week, I should have a table and chairs in there! Getting closer all the time!

Thanks for going through this process with me. Hopefully, someone has gotten an idea or two, maybe I've even been able to help someone decide whether or not to save their old hardwood floors.

If I can pray for you, please let me know.
