Beginner's Guide to DIY Hardwood Floor Refinishing: Part One

First project in our new home: DIY hardwood floor refinishing on oak floors! We're certainly not professionals, but from one beginner to another, this video shares everything we learned about sanding down your floors on your own... I promise it's not as scary as you might think! This is just part one of our floor refinishing process, so be sure to stick around for part two which will include staining hardwood floors!

Don't stain - the natural color is perfect ❤

[@lovelyforless1802]

I know you said you're not keeping the light floors but they look so amazing gf!

[@ouraesthetic_abode]

Thank you Victoria!! They did look great light… it was tempting to keep them 😁

[@akolokea1675]

Thanks for the pro tips! How long did it take to just sand, and do you know about how much square footage?

[@ouraesthetic_abode]

You’re so welcome!! Great questions! We have about 750 sq ft on our first floor and we spent a little less than two days sanding :) It probably could have even been faster if it weren’t for filming everything too!

[@akolokea1675]

@@ouraesthetic_abode Thanks so much for replying! This data is absolutely necessary for an estimate I'm doing for my first time flooring job for a friend. Mahalo!
