We spaced the boards with pennies, and afterword, we put paint into an empty condiment bottle, and went over the cracks, let it sit for a few minutes, and rolled over it so that the edges were smooth. There are about 5 coats of the Varathane floor finish as well, and I don't think the cracks will be an issue now. The floor finish is very smooth, and nice.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011968957287943985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844627769358030522.post-71283175308986525772012-07-05T11:35:35.184-04:002012-07-05T11:35:35.184-04:00I LOVE THIS!!!

That room was gorgeous before...but the after is amazing!<br /><br />We saw this on the frugal farmhouse page, and we immediately wanted to try this in our house...our only concern was the spacing. How do you keep dirt from getting caught in the spaces between the boards? (Or does the floor finish fill in those cracks?)Jordinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932569138288857331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844627769358030522.post-4848465780160739062012-07-05T07:45:02.868-04:002012-07-05T07:45:02.868-04:00oh my GOODNESS...that is just about the most amazi...oh my GOODNESS...that is just about the most amazing room ever. I can see a window like that in a living room (it's been done before) but in a PRIVATE room?! WOW. What I wouldn't give!<br /><br />And it will make a beautiful, sunny, inspiration-flying room for your sewing. Right now, I would give anything just for a hole in the wall room to keep my sewing machine set up in, mind you. So THIS-this seems from a dream!<br /><br />Will you show pictures of the finished project? I'd love to see it all done! <br /><br />I really love the look of light flooring. When we moved into this house I painted several floors a light shade of gray (loving the look of white but being very afraid with the herds of feet in this house, that it would not be magazine-esque in about 10 minutes after cleaning.) Well, seems I overestimated the gray too. For us, it is so hard to keep clean. I guess beautiful, bright and clean floors are not my lot in life (for now.)<br /><br />:-)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844627769358030522.post-246499192081699792012-07-04T13:55:04.972-04:002012-07-04T13:55:04.972-04:00Gramemaw, I totally agree with your comment, and y...Gramemaw, I totally agree with your comment, and yes, we did let Autumn choose that room, BUT, our room is larger, has a private bath, walk in closet, etc. It's truly the MASTER bedroom. It just doesn't have the pretty window. ;-) Had she wanted the true master bedroom, we would have laughed hysterically and said, "NO!"Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011968957287943985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844627769358030522.post-69545146697570416702012-07-04T12:28:14.951-04:002012-07-04T12:28:14.951-04:00And what a beautiful view to sew by!
