I've been bad . . . so many months without an update . . . so we will start from the bottom . . . the floor . . .

 

From the living room into the dining, here is the transition piece . . .

went from a trip hazard to about 1/2"

 This is the dining area, you can see the radiator in an alcove on the right.

 from the dining room into the kitchen, past the butlers pantry and the pantry hall way.

 Here is the kitchen itself . . .

 Pantry hallway back to the first floor 1/2 bath

Another view of the kitchen . . . one more coat of poly to complete.
