When we decided to boy our 180 year old farmhouse, the floors definitely sealed the deal.
Although they had seen better days, we saw the gleaming pumpkin color peeking through.
So, before any furniture, or people for that matter, moved in {which I would definitely recommend, if you should have that luxury},
our very first renovation project at Fieldstone Hill was restoring the wide-board antique pines back to their beauty. It brought us much joy to regard the history of our home, and to bring life back into these rare wide boards.
In some places the floors were nearly black. Here you can see what the floors looked like when we first moved in:
more Fieldstone Hill renovation will be in store. Hope to see you here.

Hi Darlene…these floors are amazing! You did a great job. And I love what I see of the decorating so far. How fun to redo an old farmhouse!
The floors and your house are amazing!
Those floors are gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as YOU! http://allenaim.blogspot.com/2010/11/she-says-shes-obsessed-with-orange.html
BEAUTIFUL! I love them so much! 🙂
Gorgeous! What a hidden treasure.
Got your message and you were right. They were almost black in some places. What a treasure that you were able to restore them…yep, melting again. Love those floors
