COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER NOW.......................
( HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY )

This is huge people - HUGE -

I WANT TO DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY.........................

ON THESE HARVEST FLOORS :)

OH OH
WHAT'S THIS I SEE?

Suzan says - excuse me Mr. Floor Man
Mr. Floor Man says - Yes?
Suzan says - I see a hair on the floor - and it's not mine
Mr. Floor Man says - What are you hawk eyes?
Suzan says - Well I HAVE been accused of that before
Mr. Floor Man says - They still have to be lightly sanded between the next 2 coats -
Mr. Floor Man says - Don't worry about it

Mr Floorman says - Why are you taking a photo of it?  I told you it will be gone tomorrow
Suzan says - for my blog
Mr. Floorman says - I'd rather you not
Suzan says - You sound like my husband...................sorry but it's getting documented

and then Suzan trips on the stair trying to get the photo - and drops the metal piece from the old door bell chime

Mr. Floorman says - AHA !!!!  Bet you aren't going to put that on your blog now, are ya?

Good grief - does that sound familiar or what?  Are ALL men the same or what?

Mr Floorman says - do me a favor - call me John
Suzan says - ummm - sorry - don't think so ...............................

BUT THERE'S A FULL MOON RISING
LET'S GO DANCING IN THE LIGHT....................

NOW WHERE DID I PACK MY PAINTING CAP???????????

YOU KNOW THE ONE, RIGHT?  WHEN I CHANNELLED MY HERO - CAROL BURNETT?

AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT POST - YOU MUST - ( JUST TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE WORE - OMG - SOME OF IT IS THE FUNNIEST EVER !!! )
YOU CAN FIND IT HERE - AND THERE ARE LINKS TO 15 OTHERS WHO WENT ALONG FOR THE RIDE :)

Now excuse me - I have some dancing to do
ON MY HARVEST FLOORS

John says - What the hell are you doing?
Suzan says - I'm walking the floors over you ♫ ( I can't sleep a wink - that is true )
John says - They'd better be totally dry................

We went with an Ebony stain - ( which ironically has had the name changed to Graphite - an Annie Sloan color lol ) so there's lots of black mixed in with the various shades of deep brown and even though they're very thin slats, there's still a barn floor vibe to them because of all the grain coming through, don't you think?  If you go back up to the original pics you would never guess there was so much grain in them at all.
I wanted to go as dark as possible because all the walls are going a very True White................
This is the first time in my entire life I've painted walls white ( and I'm loving it )

I fought with myself over installing new floors - and then I fought with myself over the decision to go so dark -
In the end I'm thrilled with both decisions :)
Now if I can just get the same results with the entire house I'd be in heaven.

Have a wonderful day y'all
Much love,
