White Trim!

We had our floor sanded and re-stained this summer.  They are gorgeous.

I didn’t know I would like it so much.  But now that they are done, I just love the new color.  It really helps break up the sea of yellow that we had going (yellow floors, yellow cabinets, yellow stools and yellow trim.  Although I think the real color would be called oak not yellow.  hehe..)

We also asked a friend of our to help swap out our yellow oak trim and start the process of changing it to white.  It will take a while to get the whole house done, but he helped this past month and we have he has done the whole main floor done. It looks so nice and crisp–another thing I didn’t know I would love as much as I do!  He even replaced the window sills which helps make the rooms so much brighter.

And I especially love it in my studio next to the piano.  Soooo pretty…

And how it pops against the darker floors now…

And as an added bonus this process has forced me to dust and clean areas of the house I haven’t touched since we moved in.  I mean, I wasn’t as keen on that as it was happening… extra work for me!… but now that it’s done I can say it was worth it.  Yippie!
