House Update: Hardwood Floors

We have been remodeling/updating our home since we moved in many moons ago and while the process has slowed drastically the past four years, we still have the desire to make this house everything we previously envisioned.  One of the biggest, most dramatic (think instant gratification) and cleanest changes we have made recently has been having our hardwood floors refinished in the living room and dining room. Our floors were in bad shape. I don't believe they have ever been refinished since they were installed in the early 60's and have seen carpet, countless kids, toys and pets. We opted to finally make this change even though we have kids, toys and pets because we were ready for that oh so clean feeling and really, when you have kids/toys/pets, is there ever a good time??
 
Prior to the refinish, I would sweep & mop and sweep & mop but the floors would never really feel clean since they were so beat up.


(And this is a fairly good area....Yikes, right?!)

Now....it's amazing. So clean! I love how light the natural wood is and am so pleased we went with a clear finish.
