Getting closer to the finish line! The upstairs floors have been sanded, stained, waxed....They start the downstairs floors tomorrow evening. The floor re-finisher is using a natural product called Rubio Monocoat in the Sky Gray colorway. It looks beautiful with the view of the soft seascape/landscape through the windows. Although it would have been nice to have wide plank floors, we were able to salvage the '90's narrow oak flooring with just a few repairs, but I wanted a real wood looking finish. The walls and cupboards and trim are all white and they need something to ground them...and they transition perfectly out to the weathered wood decks outside the living room and office. I love that it doesn't take numerous coatings and that it doesn't have toxic chemicals or a shiny gym-floor finish. It may need buffing once a year like the old-fashioned waxed floors my grandmother had, but I'm fine with that. It's beginning to feel like home.
can't wait for more photos...we just bought a beach house too in Long Beach Washington. I'm eager to see and learn from you.
ReplyDeleteWe have used Rubio Monocoat on our floors for several years now and love them. I can't wait to see the rest of your house! Love your style!
ReplyDeleteyou are truly inspiring to me. I have a small home in Ohio and always want to change my interior, but always confused! I will watch your updates with much anticipation hoping I can use some of your ideas for some inspiration in my home. Thank you for sharing
