How did tackling the project of sanding down and sealing your 1958 oak floors make your house feel more like a home?

As new homeowners, we had a bunch of projects to tackle, but some were definitely more urgent than others. We weren’t just thinking about the aesthetics of our place, but also about keeping it clean and safe for our health. It seemed like the previous owners never really cleaned up, and we found out from neighbors that they let their pets do their business all over the house. Yuck! So, we had to deal with that right away.

We tried everything to get rid of the smell – cleaning, running the AC, using ozone machines – you name it. But we finally found the source and got rid of it. My husband’s “favorite” project (sarcastic eye roll included) was sanding down our original oak floors from 1958 and sealing them for a fresh start. I’m so proud of him for taking on such a big job. I just give him these projects, and he goes above and beyond to make me happy.

He had never done anything like this before, but he didn’t give up or hire help. He’s my superhero 🤗 Here are our brand new 1958 oak floors – no stain, just polyurethane and lots of love! The house smells so much better now,
