Our Scrap wood floor

This is our living room floor that we made from 3" and 6" boards from a local cabinet maker's scraps. These boards would have been thrown in the trash. We used a Biscuit cutter and wood glue with wood biscuits to put the boards together, sanded and varnished it. It's floating floor with only chaulking around the outside walls to get it room for expansion and retraction.

This shot of the beginning of the floor, also shows the brick fireplace that we made from garage sale bricks. The red is a plastic barrier for reducing moisture that we put under the floor.

This is the finished fireplace and floor. We are so proud of the way it turned out. We wanted the Slate tile and found it on clearance at Home Depot where we bought all that they had for 100.00, which is enough to do all the areas in the house we want to do.

This is the front entry way. Notice the inlay star, my husband made. We have two in place now and have 3 more for the kitchen area. These are to honor or two Army sons, one just home from Iraq and one in Iraq now. Amazing what junk boards can make!
