Floor Refinishing, Part 2 ... and the new Office

Here are a few shots of us finishing up the floors, including Miran putting down the polyurethane,  then after I painted the walls gray and repainted the baseboards white, and we put in the quarter round molding. I even painted inside the closet because it was pretty scuffed up and yellowed.

We are proud and satisfied with the finished product, but its a little different than the rest of the house. Our theory is that the rest of the floors were finished with oil-based polyurethane instead of the water-based that we used. Apparently that is a little thicker, shinier, and smoother. The only place the difference is really obvious is right at the doorway where the two floors meet.

And then we moved the office furniture in and got it all set up. We even hung a few things on the wall. We are already very happy with our new office - its especially nice to have a closet in the office to stick all the random stuff in and keep it out of the way. My desk (the smaller one in the lower picture) will eventually be removed and replaced with a sleeper sofa as this room will be both office and guest room after Milada arrives in December and we don't have a dedicated guest room anymore.
