I just couldn't wait to give you a peek...
Here is the dining room... the tools and lumber still scattered! I took this just before the last board was laid!
And the living room is just across the foyer (which has always had hardwood) ... the living room has the best natural light in the house!
I'll continue to keep you updated on this makeover!
The winds are beginning to whip... I probably won't be posting for a couple of days... we are getting a direct inland hit. Our Governor said that the storm will go to Lancaster, Pa ... take a right turn and continue on. We live in Lancaster.
Please pray for all of us at StoneGable and all who are affected by this Hurricane. I am praying for all of you!
Lots of love... I'll be posting when we get electricity!
My prayers are with you and your neighbors today.
ReplyDeleteYour floors are gorgeous, Yvonne. I love all the light you get in this room, it makes the floors just shine!
ReplyDeleteWe are all very nervous for those of you on the East coast. Please stay safe and know that we are praying for you.
XO,
Jane

Your floors are lovely. My husband and I have laid floors before,it was a job, however the end results were rewarding. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous floors, I know you are pleased!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, where are you located, so we can keep up with what's going on near you during this storm? I know it's on the blog somewhere, just thought I'd get a quick update!

DeleteYvonne, your floors look fabulous! I am praying for everyone in the storm's path. Be safe!
ReplyDeletePrayer arrows are flying to heaven for all of my blog friends in the path of Sandy. One of my favorite teachings seems appropriate this day: Sometimes God calms the hurricane, and sometimes He calms His child in the midst of the hurricane. I claim the Lord's protection for you, in the name of Jesus. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeletethank you so much for that beautiful calming thought, dear Cherry Kay!
Deletewow, I didnt think your home could look more beautiful but its does and the hardwood floors add such elegance to it..

ReplyDeleteYour floor looks amazing, I so need to do that - have a few structural changes to do first before we do so have been trying to be patient.
ReplyDeletePraying for all affected by this horrible storm. If it goes right from Lancaster we're probably safe here in Columbus, Ohio.
I feel so awful for the coastal towns, what a BAD STORM this is!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. We are in New York and the wind has really begun whipping up. We are supposed to get really hit in the next few hours. We have a generator which we put in last year after the big October snow storm. I hope you are all okay.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Yvonne.. what is the brand of flooring? We went with Bruce and started on Saturday around 11 am, only got 1 bedroom done and started on the master on sunday (yesterday).. do tell, if you could what is the color on the walls in the dining room? I was thinking (yes again) of changing the current colors as I went with the lovely Sherwin Williams color in the formal living room so why not update the dining room too.. (hubs will shoot me).. but oh well.
ReplyDeleteWaiting to hear and I hope that sandy has left our area for good now.. just darn cold here. Tons of rain in NC.. hold on to your panties sweetie.. she's a soaker!
warm hugs
Cotton Peony
The wall color is Philadelphia Cream by Benjamin Moore. I am repainting though. I have Phil. Cream in my study too. I love it!
Deletethanks sweetie.. I posted on our adventures over the weekend too. Are you still cleaning up dust as I am?
DeleteHi Yvonne, I'm thinking of you and hoping that you come through without damages or injuries. We are tucked in and ready for it, and the wind has begun to whip around the house. Your floors are beautiful! Linda
ReplyDeleteDismayed to learn you are in the path of this storm, Yvonne. I hope you, your family, friends and neighbors will stay safe, the storm will weaken and your home and community spared. You give so much inspiration to all of us, enriching our homes, hearth and hearts; know we all share a wish we could return the favor to you, especially now when you must have so many concerns. Please keep safe and know here on the West coast you are very much in our thoughts and prayers. Your new hardwood floors are goregous. My husband is a General Contractor, we recently completed our home, installing hardwood floors throughout, it was a great deal of labor, so happy to be done with it; but worth the wait. Sandy
