The before was terrible - the remodel is incredible! Gorgeous!

This is one gorgeous home! I love all the details and, of course, the design! What a treat! Watching 'Sell this house' has been a part of my saturday routine for a long time and I was so excited to see this house tour!

beautiful!

Could you possibly sand and stain? Stain won't be as thick as paint

As a guest, I always ask if they would like me to take of my shoes. If they want me to, I do, if they don't care, then I leave them on. I prefer to leave them on. I hate taking off my shoes at other peoples houses. I feel very uncomfortable walkin around barefoot or in stocking feet at other peoples houses (especially if they have pets or their house is dirty.) Putting on slippers that someone else has had their feet in kind of make me feel a little ill.

As a hostess, I let my guests decide. If they want to take of their shoes, then they do. If they want to keep their shoes on, it doesn't bother me. As for tracking the nastiness of the world on my floor, I simply mop after they leave. I just want my guests to feel at home when they come over - I want them to be comfortable so I let them decide if they want their shoes on or off. I would rather mop the floors after they leave (or the next morning) rather than have my guests feel uncomfortable - it's the least I can do.

yes - love the green floor in the kitchen! My kitchen walls are that color green but... :) I may have to redo the walls white and paint the floor!
