Reclaiming the floors.

After the walls were removed, we could see the original layout of the house and it was interesting to see how in 1908, it was custom to paint the perimeter of the Douglas fir floor and then have a rug covering the middle. We were pretty excited even at this stage to try to imagine what the floors would look like once refinished. Here are some before and after pictures of our 100 year old Douglas fir floors.
