There were two doors in the living room, painted a dark brown. E stripped them down as close to bare wood as possible, slowly dissolving her brain cells with methylene chloride over the span of two days.

The floor in the living room is fir (which is softwood--oddly enough softwood and hawrdwood say little about the hardness of the wood. Softwood comes from conifers and hardwood does not. Redwood is a softwood but is harder than poplar which is hardwood. Go figure). I love wood grain. As a kid, I spent hours staring at the patterns. What do you see?

This is after five coats of polyurethane.

I moved the old bathroom mirror to the alcove and installed a medecine chest. The three panels makes for some interesting portrait possibilities.
