It washes away one's exhaustion after a long day at work. Good job, Leigh! What version of polyurethane did you use? My advice for you is to use water-based polyurethane versions because they dry quicker than oil-based versions.Kathy Carbonehttp://www.bobscarpet.com/contentpage.aspx?Id=9536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-14970681542151879202012-04-08T11:22:15.890-04:002012-04-08T11:22:15.890-04:00Oh, it looks wonderful!Oh, it looks wonderful!Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074532906052222281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-50858781041782335112012-04-07T17:58:14.776-04:002012-04-07T17:58:14.776-04:00love... the new floor is gorgeous..love... the new floor is gorgeous..Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-88401189249729487462012-04-07T17:16:24.545-04:002012-04-07T17:16:24.545-04:00Absolutely lovely!
