Britt and Care's Home: Guest Bedroom Part 1- The floors

The guest bedroom is a room, I have been pintrest-ing and obsessing about for a long long time! I have always wanted to have a home with a kick ass place for friends and family to stay.

Here is the first night we got the house. (Look at the UGLY carpet)

So obviously that HAD to go the first night, and this is what we were left with. (Sorry this was taken with my cell phone around midnight and after pulling up the upstairs floors)

A few weeks later- after all the nails, staples and tack strip was taken up, and we had sanded down the old finish, our bare floors were beautiful.

The first time we attempted the floors they were really dark. I loved the richness of the floors, and they were really pretty dark.

Then we got stuck with this patchy disaster, Talked about previously

This is the point where we decided to redo the entire process over again, but while we were doing it, we loved the way it looked distressed, and ultimately ended up going with that.

After it was distressed this is what it looked like. There were two coats of stain in the bedroom and office, the contrast is more apparent. (as oppose to the living room where there is only one coat of stain)

Here is a sneak peek of one of the walls in the guest room's wallpaper. Its gonna be awesome

Here is with one coat of polyurethane (it really livens up the space)

Here is the final product with a little painting done. The lighting in the room is just awful, its really hard to appreciate how beautiful this wood really is. We still have some final cleaning up and paint spots to clean up, but you guys get the general idea of this room so far. I also like how much of a difference changing the wall color did to this room.
