In this video, we tackle the daunting task of renovating our chestnut parquet floor. Get ready for some floor-sanding fun and a transformation that will leave you astounded!
Our floor was in a sorry state, covered in the detritus of decorating and damaged by rodents and insects. But fear not, we were determined to bring it back to life! With a touch of DIY magic, we embarked on a floor restoration journey like no other.
Refurbishing an Old Axe-Cut Parquet Floor
Instead of relying on the usual industrial floor sanders, we took a different approach. Armed with a smaller orbital sander, we gained more control over the process and significantly reduced the dreaded dust clouds. Who needs a professional when you can do it yourself, right?
Home Improvement: Reviving a 150-Year-Old Chestnut Parquet Floor
In just six hours, our 16-square meter room underwent a miraculous transformation. Yes, we admit it may not be up to strict professional standards, but the finish is simply astonishing. The 150-year-old floor still retains its character, with wonky board edges and a few knocks here and there. It’s a rustic beauty that boasts both charm and a smooth, slippery feel underfoot. Trust us, it’s a sight to behold!
Brocantes and Beyond: Unearthing Treasures for Home Decor
Now that the floor is complete, it’s time to add the finishing touches. We can’t wait to delve into the wonderful world of Brocantes, searching for characterful furniture and antique rugs to fill our revamped bedroom. Picture vintage lamps casting a warm glow, vibrant splashes of color in the room’s carefully curated color scheme – it’s an interior design enthusiast’s dream!
