I guess it is time to update you on some of the work going on around my house (andddd . . . I do wish I had a witty name for it like some other super bloggers I know). I will be working on my kitchen soon, a fact that I think I have mentioned to almost anyone that I thought would care to listen. It is partially complete. . . that is -- before we moved in, we laid out, built and installed our cabs (my cabinet guy built the boxes and he installed them). We updated plumbing, electric and hvac, slapped in some lights and capped those cabs with some salvaged granite. ("Salvaged granite," you might say - well, that is a story for another time). We installed some fixtures, and we chose stainless for the appliances . . . which I installed myself. [ . . . ]

This condition does subside quickly - and the goldish brown of our floors does ultimately return. (Plus the bowling alley wax that conveyed with the house helped lead me to this guess.) The finish is generally consistent in so far as it is inconsistent, however, throughout the house -- and since there are no signs that this floor had ever been covered, I guess the assumption always was -- I am looking at a stained floor, coats of well worn polyurethane over it -- either that or simply a time darkened clear coat.
