Thanks Bryan. My hardwood was cosmetically challenged when we bought, 2 years ago. First job I tackled, I sanded out all the biggest flaws and lightly sanded the rest, stained back to match, and 4 coats of Varathane for floors. Still looks like new. I got rid of all of the carpet, for a good lookng laminate, but I would sacrifice all that work to have the same hardwood throughout the main cabin. I'll keep looking.
I am also redoing my window coverings and valances. Janet wants to keep the present fabric across the top, which is identical to the valence fabric you have removed. I need to build one more valence, for above the door, and am wondering if you saved any of the old valence fabric? My present plan is to match the Alder and make the valences look like part of the cabinetry, but if I had the matching fabric......hmmm.
