Floors refinished
Written by julio on March 10th, 2005
We got the floors refinished just before moving in. This is one of about three things that we did hire out. Floor refinishing is an art, and it’s not one that you want to practice on 1,000 square feet of your own wood floors.
The floors in this house are continuous through the entire downstairs, even into the closets. That means that you have to do all of it at once to keep it looking right, as there are no transitions between rooms.
We opted to have them refinished without a stain, because we thought that the lighter color would help offset the dark woodwork. In the end, we feel that we made the right choice.

We are thinking of doing the same with our original floors upstairs (no staining). Can I ask what kind of wood these floors are?

They are oak floors, original to the house.
