Collections: wood

Since this house has gone through many owners, many tenants, and many decades, it has ended up with an eclectic mix of fixtures and materials. These are small details that don't come through in other posts, so this is a chance for me to show you the "collections" in this house.

I'm very lucky that I have wood floors and trim. My neighbors on the other side of the wall have painted trim, and years ago someone painted the second story wood floors a dark green. Of course, they don't have have to deal with popcorn walls, so it kind of evens out.

I'm amused by all the different kinds of wood in my side of the house. Some of it is newer, some is weathered beyond recognition, and some of it is just gorgeous.

The upstairs flooring, which seems to be the most recent flooring, and the upstairs doors

Unfinished wood in the craft room, and some sort of laminate in the bathroom

Part of the bathroom built-in shelves, and the railing on the stairs

The stairs, which are 2-toned from a carpet runner years ago, and the main floor edges, which seems to be the oldest flooring

The insets of each room on the main floor, which were originally carpet and seem to be older than the upstairs flooring, and this last gem is from the back hall of shame.

Know any tricks for keeping wood in good condition?
