Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

... shouldn’t the joints in the flooring be aligned with the direction of the incoming light? Or is that more a matter of personal preference?
Well, it seems like this is a long, narrow room. Installing the flooring at a 90° angle to that would make it appear even longer and narrower.
I also have two rooms and a hallway (all connected) that are rather narrow and long, and I deliberately chose the installation direction as shown in the picture above. It looks good.

Almost everything is a matter of taste, but there is a reason behind the rule: to make the joint less visible. This effect is desirable only if the overall surface should appear more uniform. For wood-look flooring and similar designs, however, irregularity is intended to enhance the authenticity of the repeated pattern. In other words, the goal is exactly to make it noticeable (or even emphasize) that the surface is made up of "individual planks." The effect of highlighting lengthwise or crosswise stripes becomes more pronounced where the brightness of the individual elements (or contrasts within a single element, such as between the base color and grain) varies more strongly.

Over the weekend, I unpacked the staircase and did some sanding. The impregnation will be applied at the very end.

The most important question was: how bright or dark is it in the living room? Is it okay for you? How does it look so far?

And until then it was still lying under the Christmas tree? *SCNR*

How exactly are you planning to apply the wood treatment?
I recently read that someone wanted to use water glass (sodium silicate) for that (I think it was @rick2018?), but you decided on a different method, right?

We still haven’t done anything to our stairs — they are still raw. But at some point, we’ll have to get to it...

They look great on your side!
