    LAminate countertops. I'm cheap, but I can find a nice textured one for a good price. The backsplash in the whole kitchen will be beadboard. I'll have to paint it with gloss paint, but I'm okay with that. The countertops will most likely be black or dark gray.

    how did you remove the old floor? was there asbestos flooring down there? I have a house (1957) and Im a concerned removing the kitchen floor.

    great job by the way. I had original hardwoods and they were stained in several places(pet urine which is hard to remove). they were sanded and stained dark,look great.

    The old floor had been removed. At some point, the original floorcovering was taken up, a layer of plywood put down, and two layers of linoleum glued to that. So all we really did was take up the plywood. Did I mention it was nailed about every 6 inches in all directions? Yeah, that was fun. We used a mattock and shovel for leverage. Pry bars got every thing started.

    You're amazing - just amazing. If ever I build from scratch, I'm factoring in your flight and expenses and you can come over and basically, do the lot.

    What I'd do for one eighth of your talent - jeeze.

    I love it - it already looks stunning!

    ....forget sanding out these stains. Just dig out the bad areas and replace them with the same type of wood flooring.

    Hint: If you replaced the stained wood with new and then you apply 2 coats to the entire floor....and the "new" floor areas seem to not have the same "umber" finish of the old, original wood, then mix up what we call "stealer"..its a poly with alot of stain mixed in that you apply only to the new wood.
    Then apply the last coat of poly to the floor and you will not see a difference.

    Been down this road many times, it works.
