I’m laying the Faux Leather floor in my dining room today. It is scrubbed and ready to go.  You can see a tutorial for the floor here: Illustrated Guide to Faux Leather Floors

While I work, I’m praying for my young friend Lauren White. She is 13, has cancer and is in the hospital with pneumonia. Today some critical decisions will be made on her behalf. Will you pray too?

This room is a LOT bigger than the two bathrooms I did two years ago. It has been 4 hours and I’m almost 1/3 of the way across. I’m starting to feel overwhelmed.

Darren comes in every hour or so to give me a pep talk.

In this next shot you can see the strip next to the wall starting to dry and show the veins. I love this part.

I’m using water based stain this time in coffee. It is working well and has no odor. I love that. And if I get a bit on the baseboard it wipes right off with a baby wipe or cotton swab.

I have 30 minutes before I have to go pick up kids. So it’s back to work for me.
