Comments (4)I know of one person I met in another forum a few years ago who took a picture of looking out her mother's back door, and turned it into a mosaic in her tub surround. Unfortunately, I can't find the pictures, and I did a search on that forum, and couldn't find them there, either, so you have to take my word for it-- it really was beautiful....See Morehas anyone put down oiled wood floors?
Comments (137)Tung-oiled pine flooring update. It's been a year since my last post in this thread, and a year and a half from the floor install, so I thought I would post an update. Some backstory: These pine wide-boards were sawn at a local mill, kiln dried and I think indoors for abt a year before we got it. The boards sat in our house for 6 months before actual install. During that time, I sanded each board and applied and buffed in 4 coats of Hope's Pure Tung Oil. They were installed on our second floor, all bedrooms. Once installed, I buffed in one more coat of tung oil. Today. I am very pleased with how the tung-oil is protecting the floor, and how the floor is holding up. Not seeing much gap between boards, and any accidental spills are not leaving any stains, but I do get to them fairly fast. For clean up, we vacuum and when needed, use damp rag and elbow grease for any scuffs, or marks (dog paws), etc. I occasionally buff out scratches with tung oil (we have a dog and 11yo boy). Since the floor has gone thru one dry winter, this summer I plan buff in another coat of tung oil for more durability. Because it is pine, we do not allow shoe traffic on the second floor or food, but that rule was same when the flooring was carpeted. I love this floor! The patina is becoming quite lovely, it has been really easy to keep. I expect the floor to age gracefully and develop more character as the years go on. I do not regret going the all-natural route with using only the tung oil....See MoreAn experiment: Has anyone ever oiled honed absolute black?
Comments (16)I am not familiar with a satin finish. Is it at all bumpy? I saw a sample yesterday with a flamed brushed finish and it was slightly bumpy. I am not sure it would be good for writing. I am also considering soapstone, but I am just doing a small peninsula and am hoping to get a remnant. I am assuming the the AB is more popular and therefore I will have more remnants to choose from. If I got lucky and found a SS remnant that is the right color, size and price, I will go with it. November - I like the AB with the oil, although I probably like the charcoal color without the oil better. I am going to try the oil on the sample later. Right now I have two plumbers under my sink and I would have to climb over them to get to my mineral oil!...See MoreHas anyone done black interior windows with white trim?
Comments (20)I'm not sure if anyone is following this post from 4 years ago... I have black casement windows in our new build and made a huge design error. I envisioned frameless windows for our house and ended up with windows framed so that the drywall gap requires casing. The look was supposed to be super modern... How do others feel about their black Anderson 400 series windows with white casing?...See Morepbx2_gw
