Life is funny. Everything old is new again at some point. The world goes round and round. We decided to pull up the carpet in one of our rooms to see what the original hardwood floors looked like underneath. It was a test to see if we could do it throughout the main part of the house. This room is our office/Red Sox room. It had an awesome shag carpet but it is also the room where our cat food dishes are, which resulted in lots of cat food in the shag carpet that was IMPOSSIBLE to get out of the shag easily.
The result of pulling up the carpet was an awesome experience. I can't imagine what goes through someone's head when they decide that shag carpet is better than hardwood. But then I realized it's the same thing that made people wear parachute pants, hairsprayed bangs, and flower child clothing. It was a trend, it was the fashion and with all fashions some are timeless and some are fleeting.
I'm happy to say we love the look of the hardwood and are going to use this room as a test on how we can get it looking the way we want. Then we will do the rest of the house.
The floor isn't perfect and I'm sure it won't be when it's done. Imperfections and flaws are what give it character. It's all part of it's beauty and I love it too.
