Progress parquet

The floor is almost finished.


The compass.





The last step. We have to  learn a new technique. We want to polish the floor.
The floors at Giac's mansion are always looking great. He told me he did polish them.
So now we have to order stuff for polishing.
To be continued and wishing you all a great weekend.

  1. Hi Dorien! The parquet floor looks absolutely gorgeous, it's really fantastic work! Polishing? With what?
    Schellak misschien? Dat schijnt een heel proces te zijn (als je schellak gebruikt). Ik weet niet hoe dat werkt, of waar dat te koop zou kunnen zijn....
    In ieder geval fijn weekend gewenst en geniet van je mooie vloer, het is echt prachtig!
    Liefs, Ilona

  2. Hi Ilona,
    Yes we go for shellac. I know how to get it and how it works. I'll explain it in the next blog. I let you know where to buy.

  4. Dear Sumaiya,
    The wood looks brighter and deeper qua color. The wood comes alive.
    But it will take some time because we have to order the stuff needed.

  5. Shellac or French polish will be well worth it on a floor that beautiful!

      It will be the first time we do that. But worth trying.

      Thank your for your nice words. My husband did the floor. I'm not able to make such a floor.

  9. Dear Hannah,
    We're using different techniques at the moment. Just testing what looks best. Polish is very expensive. Next time I write about the different techniques and their results.
    Hugs Dorien
