so this weekend we did the final step to finishing the nursery! all we need now is furniture and decorations!
a few weeks ago, before we painted, we sanded the hardwood floors. now it was finally time to finish them
this is the first project i wasnt allowed to help with at all, so i relaxed on the couch all weekend!
he still had to sand around the edges where the random orbit sander couldn't get reach:
before:
we used minwax high-build polyurethane (super stinky!)
the last floor we finished had to be stained, so we were really hoping this one wouldnt need stained; it took forever and it was a pain in the butt! so he tested a corner and we let we dry for 6 hours and decided it looked pretty good without stain! yay!!
he used a lambs skin pad to spread on the poly
after first coat:
we let it dry over night then he lightly sanded with 220 grit sand paper, swept and mopped it up (just with warm water to get the dust up)
then on to coat 2:
and it's all done!! soo exciting!
total time: 2 days
2 hours of work but lots of dry time
total cost: $41
poly: $33
lambs skin pad: $8
sandpaper: free (left over from last floor project!)
we're so excited it's done! ready to hang shelves and decorate, as soon as the furniture comes in!
30 weeks preggo, only 10 to go!
have a great week!!
