Progress...
Planks are done.
See the NVO at the finish line of his part.
I suspect this truly makes him happy!

Changing directions:
We were originally going to paint this floor with shiny bright white porch and floor paint,
but after we laid it we thought it was a shame to cover the beauty of the wood...
yes, the beauty of the plywood. :-)
So we decided to white wash it and if we didn't like it we could paint it later.
Here comes my part:
First I mixed this chalky paint with lots of water - 10-1.
Purchased at Home Depot.
In fact everything came from Home Depot.
Then I simply brushed it on.
Now it's time for Polyurethane.
We are thinking we are a week away from putting the kitchen back together,
which is way ahead of schedule! Yeah!
More updates to come. :-)
So glad you decided not to lose the lovely wood effect with paint! Looks great & it's good to see he's still smiling. x

Congrats on the progress! I like your idea to white wash instead of paint.
ReplyDeleteWell done you for all of the hard work on this!! I am sure that it will look great and as you say, you can always make it bright white, or more opaque in the future, but it is an awful lot of work to remove! xx
