How To Refinish Hardwood Floors

One of my most popular posts, takes you step by step on how to refinish hardwood floors yourself.
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.
This process took about a week to complete {our entire main floor - 1,200sq ft}


It was tedious, but not hard at all.
Fortunately for me, my husband is a professional painter, so we already knew we had a good supplier for a finish coating. And we all know using good quality finishes is very important!
The stain color we chose is Walnut, it's very dark, but very beautiful.


The only drawback to that is I am mopping a lot! Dark shows everything!!

    I have honey colored hardwood all through my house. The kitchen is the one room that needs refinishing. If I refinished the main living areas of the house, could I stain them darker?

    I would add that with very old flooring (ours nearly 100 years), there is a conditioner product from Minwax that kept old dry wood from drinking up the stain like iced tea.
