The kitchen flooring was installed by the Lord of the Manor today. He started at the entry to the kitchen, where I began oohing and aahing immediately.

The color is very light and natural. It fits the style of our 1843 stone home.

It's called hand-scraped pre-finished birch. And I like it very very much.

Here, the LOTM takes a phone call. Notice that the phone is wireless but the floor nailer is not.

The late afternoon sun is making our new floor look quite shiny. But really, it is a humble satin finish. The hand-scraping gives it a well-loved and country farmhouse feel.
Now we are ready for the kitchen cabinets! Will I sleep tonight?
I DON'T THINK SO.
And I for one don't blame you!
