The living room in our new house has been renovated the last few weeks, and this Friday we could finally move back in again – a day I have been waiting for with a lot of joy!
I´m very happy with how it all turned out, and I look forward showing you more photos of it in the time to come. One of the things I love the most is the “new” floor that now has been sanded and treated with lye, white oil and matt lacquer – it´s SO beautiful and much lighter than it used to be. Before we started I was not aware that the process to renovate a wooden floor was so technical, and the number of choices you have. Luckily, we found people with the right competence and I am happy to come with recommendations if you are planning to do something with your own wooden floors.
As you can see in the above picture we have also removed all the window mouldings to make a cleaner and firmer look, and I am very happy with result.

I love your new place!
Thank you 🙂
Så flott! Gleder meg til å se resten:) Vil gjerne høre litt mer om behandlingen av gulvet ditt. Er det heltregulv av furu som var utgangspunktet?
God søndagskveld, Elisabeth:)
Tusen takk! Gulvet vi har har er heltre furu, nærmere bestemt et Kronegulv. Det var visstnok en veldig fet furu vi hadde, så den trengte lut for å bli lysere.
Stunning
Thank you so much!
oh how I want more now !!!!!! greetings NIna 🙂
Haha….sooon 🙂
Such difference! I really like how you brought it back to a bright and light space. Hope it work out as well in our house now that we are about to lighten our wooden floor 🙂
Glad you like it! 🙂
Good luck with your floor – I´m sure it will work out well.
Love it!
Var det dyrt å få gulvet slikt? Lurer på om samme prosess egner seg til eikegulv?
Det kommer helt an på hvem du bruker og hvor mange kvm dere har som skal behandles. Vårt stuegulv er 70kvm og prisen var rundt 15 000,- ( gjorde mer samtidlig og fikk totalpris på alt de gjorde.) Det er også stor forskjell på oljer/lakk som brukes. Usikker på om det er mulig å gjøre dette med et eikegulv, da må du nok spørre noen som gjør dette profesjonelt.
Wow Nina! It looks so beautiful, bright and stylish. Well done guys! I love your new floor as well ! 🙂
So beautiful!
Where did you get your lovely carpet and coffee table?
Love your style
Kjempefint Nina!! Må være deilig å komme på plass litt etter litt,
vet jo alt om hvordan det er å holde på med det dere gjør nå : )
Det blir så bra, og jeg gleder meg til å se mer!
God klem Elisabeth

Beautiful! I wondered if you could tell me a little more about the floors? What type of wood are they? Also, is the regular maintenance a lot of work to keep them looking so lovely?

Can you tell me are you still love your white floors? We want to use white hardwood floors in our new home I wonder is the cleaning ant stain, scratches left from the furniture, from home shoes?
Our floor is not totally white, it´s just white oiled so you can see the three structure through… We are very happy with it still! 🙂
Hi. Can you please tell me where you bought your picture frame/art work? Thanks.
