Hi friends! I’ll keep this one short and sweet.. I don’t have a ton of updates for you for week 2, because I’m waiting on a few things to fall in place before I can get started!

I’ve mentioned on Instagram that my contractor has been.. let’s just say *absent*. Since the floors are essential to the design I want for this space, I decided to go super DIY by purchasing a belt sander and attempting to do the floors myself! I know it will take longer than a professional machine, but it was less than $50, and I’m excited to get started!

Here’s a quick look at a small section I was able to do.. I’m so ridiculously happy with how pretty the natural wood looks underneath!

Between getting the hang of the sander and making a few initial adjustments, I’d say this section probably took me around 10 minutes. I’m planning to do a little bit every day, and I can’t wait to see how it looks once it’s all stripped and ready!
