Let the renovations begin! After purchasing a 33 year old home, the process of renovations was next at hand. First on the list of renovations is the floor. You never know what you will find under carpet. Here was a nice little surprise. A hand painted floor.

The kitchen area previously had terracotta tiles which were nice however, I wanted the hardwoods to continue throughout the house. Once the tiles were removed I found water damage to the sub flooring from the sink and dishwasher. After the sub floor has been completely replaced, the Mullican hardwood will carry into the kitchen area.

After completely removing the carpet in the living room, the uniquely hand painted floor was fully exposed. Although it was unique, it was not exactly the look I was imagining in my new home. After much contemplation on what to do with the current flooring, I decided to create a soft but warm open look using a lighter colored hardwood. The product of choice for this renovation was Mullican’s Castillian solid oak, wire-brushed, micro bevel edge, 5-inch wide, random length boards in a Glacier color.
