54 year old wood floors

Our house has hardword floors. Yellow birch mill run floors to be exact. Our last big project is to redo the kitchen. Now that we have an open concept we want to extend the hardwood.

We had quite a few bundles of leftover flooring. We spread it out over the living room and realized we were about 20 sq. ft. short.

The good thing about real hardwood floors is that even 54 years later you can buy new wood that will match.

Once it is in place and the whole floor is sanded and refinished, it will all look new again.

We have laminate wood over our heated cement slab. It’s only a few years old and already we cannot match it if we need to. Good thing we aren’t renovating those rooms again!

Final house plans?

After adding on, reconfiguring rooms, removing walls are we done? If I can stop thinking about it maybe?

Here are the current plans.

How it all started

We bought this house in 1991. It is a side-split built in 1954. Here are the original floor plans.

I started thinking about making changes even before we bought it.

Poor Dave, I don’t think he knew what was to come…
