The dining room in fabulous Cannondale has two personalities. The first and most domineering side of him (her) is regal and commands respect. "I have a corner fireplace, my ceiling is 10 feet and am in possession of two large sash windows" Now the flip side to that two-faced little witch...floors are an unholy mess and what floors there are--are sloped at an alarming angle. It faces north and the wind howls fierce and shakes the windows. And sunlight, there's not enough.

So in an effort to tame this shrewish side of Cannondale's Dining Room, I've commissioned floor boards from the repurposed lumber of the Oxford Water Authority Covered Bridge plained and sanded. I had Rueben and Levi fit the boards. Now apparently its up to me to sand and refinish.
Here are some before and after photos. Good luck figuring which is which!

HA! I got a charge out of your Russell Crowe homage and the pic of Steve in the tub. If you're interested in tons more pix of the bloke, I have literally thousands here: www.libriscrowe.com
Just encouraging a fellow dreamer. I mean...why NOT?
Jo, who likes your floor attempt

Love your house AND your Russell Crowe crush. Have one of the latter myself!
