I am wondering how you still feel about the satin finish on your floors. We are having our red oak floors redone in Jacobean and I was originally thinking a matte finish, but your satin looks great. I really don't want any shine to it - we're going for a very rustic look. AND I don't want to have to clean them every day. Would you post an update on your floors and let us know if they do end up showing dust/dirt. Thanks so much! I'm loving your blog!Theresanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-80009309743948806942012-01-27T16:58:53.139-05:002012-01-27T16:58:53.139-05:00MUCH BETTER!!!MUCH BETTER!!!Emilyhttp://www.thepinkgiraffe.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-91256553800388055752011-11-18T09:10:15.994-05:002011-11-18T09:10:15.994-05:00Can I just say...WOW!!!
