TamaraLynn Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'm so impressed with the talent and ideas I have found in this group! My focus is on the stairway and foyer in the Beacon Hill house. I have my flooring stained....and I'm trying to decide on the lighting. I am struggling with having to have a plan so early in the build! I'm not sure what will happen in each room. Lol I barely have a grasp on the foyer. I will start sharing photos when I get just a bit further along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Tamara, if your Beacon Hill starts talking to you, listen to it and do what it wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is definitely talking to me.....I can see somethings right now....but it isn't a fully clear picture. Haha. I'm enjoying the process and not letting myself get impatient.

I glue them down. Sand them with my mouse sander so they are perfectly even and smooth. Remove all dust. Then stain them. Dry well. Polish with a paper towel and wipe away any dust. Then apply a satin polyurethane finish. Dry well. Lightly sand them with a piece of 220 grit sandpaper, remove any dust, then put on a second coat of polyurethane. Note: when applying polyurethane use a small 1 inch brush, only go over each swipe once. Avoid repeated swipes. Getting ready to poly floors and stairway today! Thank you everyone for your help. I am incredible slow with progress (due to health issues) but I'm so happy with what I'm seeing. I Will share pictures when I'm done.
