I am visiting my childhood home in Kellogg this week-end. 
Wooden hardwood floors that have been waxed and polished with care by my mother for forty-five years still hold their beauty as I stand in my childhood bedroom doorway.
When carpet was added to the steps a wooden rail was added for safety. The wooden spindles were the only thing to grab before.
The wooden raised beds in Mom's yard appear to be topped with loaves of white bread while they wait for the spring thaw.
To find other photo hunters go here.
Great take on wooden, especially since they are three wooden things I love. We're still waiting on our wooden floors and raised beds (loaves of bread -- ha!) to be finished this summer.
ReplyDeleteThat must be some polish over the years, I've just made a raised bed, haven't had the same amount of snow though.
ReplyDeleteThose are all great shots for the wooden theme. I grew up with hardwood floors and I hope to be able to replace my wall to wall carpet with hardwoods one day but it will be a huge job so it keeps getting pushed down the list. Your parents floors are beautiful. I also like the banister and the garden boxes covered in snow. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletegreat take of the wooden things...love that wooden floor.

Emergency!
You wipe up that water or you can just stay home and clean the woodwork!
I'm afraid it's going to be quite a wait for spring! Those are beautiful floors. My PH:Wood is here. Thank you.
ReplyDeletedoes look like white bread!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore hard wood floors.. and your mom's are gorgeous.. older the better.
ReplyDeleteThe floor and banister look very weel kept. I was jsut thining about creating some raised beds yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your childhood home with us. Wish I could go back and visit mine. I LOVE hardwood floors. I can't wait to rip out the carpet in my living room and replace it with hardwood floors. I love poetry, too. My favorite is William Wordsworth. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteWonderful floor, so much nicer than the grubby (dogged!) carpet we have. Those raised beds look surreal. I'm glad we don't get snow like that.
