I'm very nearly floored

Bill was here yesterday and today, and fingers are crossed that he'll be back tomorrow. He goes back to work on Monday so his availability is about to plummet. Flooring has hit the home stretch! Here's a shot of what we started with. Sad old, worn parquet with a bit of old termite damage over in the corner by the patio door. And now, oak plank running continuously from the living room into this room!
Yes, there's plenty left. We've had one floor finishing quote and Tuesday afternoon the cute french guy who redid the bedroom floor is coming to quote . Also Tuesday a window guy is coming. If we can resolve the replacements for the patio door and awful picture window then this room will be close to done.


I can't wait to be paneling free.

Either I've forgotten, or...Is the bookcase returning to its niche by the door?

The bookcase and tv cabinet were opposite the fireplace so you could never enjoy both. The cabinetry and closet behind them are gone, and now the tv mounts adjacent rather than opposite.

OMG david. i think your original panelling people did my house as well. i'm trying to work with my panelling -- i glossed it up and then added white, white, white -- but it doesn't help to see dirty little paw prints all over my white sofa.
