"New" floor

A few weeks ago, Jason discovered wood floors in our dining room underneath the lovely blue carpet, and two layers of vinyl nastiness.

Here is the before shot...
Sure, I think it makes sense to cover up the beautiful wood floors with this stuff...wouldn't you do the same?
The trim needs some work, and some areas of the floor are more worn than others, but we are happy with the results!

It is so much nicer to clean up after messy kids with hard wood. He did a great job!

Ooo, what a great find! Enjoy it! I wish I could lift up our ugly linoleum and find a lovely wood floor (it isn't there, we checked...)

Wow, what a difference! I never could understand why people cover up hard wood with vinyl?? I guess it was the style back then...
