After giving the newly revealed floor a good cleaning, I couldn't help but notice how the shadows of the window panes made the sun dance across it.
To think it was there all along hidden under wall to wall carpet just waiting to be revealed. I suppose when the previous owner had it covered in carpet the thrill of the old wooden floor had faded and carpet provided the warmth and comfort they desired.
I can imagine the children who slept in that room before, playing with their cars and trucks and dolls and buggies just the way I know my grandson will play with his toys now.
Isn't it funny how what was old and worn to them, is fresh and new to me? It didn't take long for Bear to feel at home on it either.
My simple pleasure this week is rediscovering hidden gems for a new generation.

That is one beautiful floor!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a real thrill to find the wooden floor. I love how you want to give to your grandchildren. Nothing will ever cover over that. Mave
ReplyDeletethat floor is beautiful....and love how Bear has made himself comfortable on it.
ReplyDeleteThe coloring on your floor is a beautiful color! So rich!
ReplyDeleteI'll take hardwood over carpeting anyday.
So glad Bear approves!
That floor is in excellent condition. Can't imagine anyone being willing to cover it up but seems a lot of people do.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You just won the floor lottery!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to find a wooden floor underneath that carpet. Did you expect to find it or was it a suprise?
ReplyDeleteOh it is wonderful and in such great condition. Yeah for you!! And you didn't even have to pay for it. How great.
ReplyDeleteThe glow of wooden floors is so homey. I enjoy mine; some were refinished years ago, which was one of my better decisions in this little, old house!
