The family room floor
Spent all weekend, Monday and finally today got the furniture moved back.
The floor is finished.
Here are some process pictures. What a lot of work. My friend Cindy helped, I would have never been able to get done without her help.
After the carpet was ripped out.
Didn't get a picture of the primer stage. This is the first color used.
Purr supervised as much as she could but was pretty unimpressed with the whole process.
Next layer we used a sponge roller brush.
Also sponge rollered.
This last color I used the brush and just splattered it on randomly. This was the most fun. I now know how Jackson Pollack felt when he painted...
View from the balcony.
It didn't turn out like I had envisioned it but I do like it.
So one primer coat, one solid color coat, 3 sponged color coats, one splattered coat and two polyurethane coats. So glad it's finished.

Gorgeous! That looks just like the background of some of your paintaings. What an ambitous project.
It may not be what you envisioned, but it is STUNNING!! I love it :D
Wonder if Purr thought you were creating a portrait of her/him??? Does the cat disappear when its on the floor?
What a huge fun project. and how nice to lose the carpet.
