New Floors!

Here's one of the reasons for my blogging absence: I've got my floors sanded and colored with white translucent oil.It was quite a job! Had to empty the entire apartment and move out for two weeks. But now as the job is done, I can say for sure that it was worth it. The apartment instantly became so much lighter. I post some before and after pictures, so you can see for yourself.Before...

..and after.
Tell me what you think!

Looks sooo beautiful. I'd love to see more of your interiors and even find out how your upkeep is on the floor? Does it scratch, scuff easily?

Thank you! It's incredible how floors can change the entire look of an apartment. The first two weeks we had to be very careful to avoid scratches (no shoes, no sliding of furniture), but now it's fortunately more solid. No troubles with scratches, but of course dust bunnies are harder to hide on white floors:)
The upkeep is easy. Just mop with water (no microfiber cloth) or vacuum as normal. Every third week I use a special wax preventer that the "floor guy" gave me. That's it.
Keep on following my blog, and I'll see if I can post more interior pictures:-)

Tusen takk! Må innrømme at jeg nesten har blitt litt "nyforelsket" i leiligheten min igjen etter fornyelsen. Ghost-stolen er jeg veldig glad i. Den glir inn overalt:-)

I dream of having a house like yours. You know exactly how you've decorate it. Love the floors.
