First thing Saturday morning, Adam headed out and rented us a barrel sander & edge sander. The floorboards in our livingroom were pretty decent quality, so instead of cladding them in laminate we decided to strip them and varnish them. The results so far are ace, the wood’s a lovely antique pine so it’s come up as a honey colour full of knots and ripples. We’ll be varnishing it some time soon :)
Also, you can see the green (dulux taragon glory 5) we’ve picked for the lounge in the photos above, and here are the colours we’ve picked in the two bedrooms (ocean clear b&q colours, and dulux amethyst falls 2… my small studio room is still stuffed full of things, but that’s gunna be yellow!).

Wow, so much work! Who would have thought that sanding would be this exhausting?! The floors look FANTASTIC.
