More Fall Fun and Floor Update

Hello there!!

I have missed you all but had a great week last week unplugging for a bit.

It was so nice here so we took advantage of the weather and played outside.

I really do not like raking leaves but watching the boy play in them was so fun, he just makes me laugh.

I also got a little bit of time to work on the bonus room floor.

Here are a couple photos of the wood graining process so far.

It is turning out ok for the most part but like I had said earlier, it is difficult to get a nice wood look when the plywood is rough and uneven.

BUT

I love the shabbiness of it so I am good with it.

I have also decided to add another process to it, not sure why I do this to myself.

I found a stain called Sunbleached at Lowes and I love it!

I played around with it on my sample board and it really warmed up the wood so I am going to apply that over top the stain like you see above in the corner there.

I will then sand some of the areas to get a more warn look.

Well at least that is what I have in my mind as of now.

Here is how the whole room looks so far.

It is hard to see the floors but I am about a little over half way done with the graining.

I didn't fill the lines where the boards meet cause, well, I am lazy. I would tell you that it looks more shabby that way but that really isn't the case. :)

I am hoping with a few area rugs that it won't be so bad.

The weather has turned cooler and windy here so this is my goal for this week.

Have a wonderful week!!
