Glad you found us! Like I mentioned in...Hey Connie. Glad you found us! Like I mentioned in some previous posts, the original plan was to put a clear coat on the floors and be done with it. But after bringing in a specialist, he told us for the amount of money we would have had to spend to repair the floors, it wouldn't have been worth it. There was significant water damage and awful patch jobs all over the main floor. As for the bedrooms upstairs that you saw it is not maple. Back in those times the "good wood" was put in the areas where company would see, an the bedrooms were low quality wood that they would paint. So after the old carpet was ripped upstairs there was just layers and layers of paint on the floor. <br />We would have loved to have had the original floors on the main floor, but we didn't have the thousands to spend on it that it required. What we put down is just a floating floor so if in the future someone wants to spend that significant amount of money, they can go for it.

The owners sanded it, did not stain it but sealed it with polyurethane and it was to die for! It looked like a million bucks...but that's my opinion ;-)CK SNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283088329151401409noreply@blogger.com
