It looks great, if I say so myself!

And I do!

This is the way our kitchen floor looked 5 1/2 years ago before I painted it.
The good thing about that floor was that, as Paul said, you could drop a plate of cookies on it,
and not even see them.
The bad thing was...
well, you know!

So I painted it and it was a great improvement at that time.
Recently it has needed another painting,
which I really didn't want to do.
Above and below, you will see my tools and the job in progress.

It is A LOT OF WORK, a WHOLE LOT OF WORK!
But now that it is finished and looking so great,
all the work and sore muscles were worth it.
(Sort of like having a baby!)
I had paint left over from the first painting.
First there is a primer coat.
(I skipped the roughing it up because it was roughed up over the years.)
Then there were two base coats which is one more than I did last time.
Then the green squares were painted,
and THEN two coats of varathane.
I still have some varathane left, so I will use it in the hardest wear places.
I certainly know them by heart now!

Here is the beautiful result!
I'm thinking of going on the road now to paint floors for people.
My price would be $500 for a floor our size,
+ materials,
+I don't move furniture
and I work better with an occasional cup of tea!

Now on to other things before gardening season begins!
