Look, I have floors!

These pictures are of the floorboards before they were sanded and polished.

Hallway:

Main bedroom:
I had the rooms rewired while I was at it... EVERYTHING was covered in the red dust you see below:

What to do with the "spare room"?

My spare room "before" (painting and installing new floors):

Although I bought a 2 bedroom cottage, I only really NEED 1 bedroom. I'm very mindful of the fact that if I leave this room as a "spare room" it will turn in to a junk yard - I've seen this happen in many homes. So considering that my kitchen/dining area is so small, I have decided to turn this room into my living room - my living room in turn will serve as my dining room.
