Aren't they beautiful?? Hubby is overly critical of his work and keeps telling me (and anyone else who will listen) that they are not professional quality, but I don't think anyone is going to look THAT closely at them. It did create a nasty little monster in hubby after all of his hard work though--it would be the "we cannot walk, touch, or move near the floor with shoes on" monster. That gets frustrating very quickly. Every time we plopped on the couch to watch tv it would scootch just a little across the floor and he would moan. And I do mean every time. I was also banned from wearing heels across the floor, or any shoes for that matter. Bare feet were banned as well, which meant only socks were allowed on this hallow ground. All of these rules also meant I could hardly function as a normal person in the room.
About a week after the floors were finished I went to Lowes and ordered rugs. Problem solved. Now we can not only use the room like normal people, but it keeps the floor warmer, helps eliminate echos, and adds just the right touch the room was looking for. Of course, the only reason I think hubby was ok with it was because our cat (details on her reserved for yet another post) refused to walk across the hardwood floor because it was too cold for her paws and would leap around on the furniture to get to her favorite window perches. She's happy now too.
Now if we could just attack this beast in the corner the room would be complete.
Alas, Rome wasn't built in a day, and clearly, neither will this house.
