A shiny floor and new table.....

Here is the promised photo of the 'polished' tudor floor lol. I've been informed that Tudors wouldn't have polished their floors but I do think it looks so much better now, and the tudors in my kitchen liked clean floors ;)
I've started furnishing my kitchen by building a trestle table. I followed the instructions here (as this is my first time furniture making) but changed the design of legs so it looks similar to a photo of one in a reconstructed tudor kitchen. I'm going to work on a shelf next and long stool to go along the left hand wall.


I made these items a while ago, but couldn't resist putting them 0n the table to see how they looked -

    The floor looks really good polished, you can dirty it up later if you feel like it :) And the table is fab :)

    I love the fact that you're going to have Tidy Tudors ... :) The floor looks great. Thanks for the link to the tutorial -- I think your version of the table worked out really well. And the veggies and basket just start to bring the whole room alive!

    I think polishing the floor is important :) It preserves your work . Use a matt finish if you don't want it to be obvious . I think you have done it here because the floor looks like how it should look, raw, tough and masculine :)

    Hi, I've just discovered your blog. I like to follow blogs like yours, where people build from scratch and you can follow the trials and tribulations. :-) You're doing very well and I very much like the Tudor look. Good luck, I'll keep following.
