That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

Someone stained the bedroom floor upstairs very dark brown, almost black. It shows every speck of dust. :( I thought about refinishing it years ago, but removing old stain would almost require a professional sander. Maybe it was "to hide a nasty stain that's lying there" (♪♫♪), somewhere. Why else would they do that?

The threshold into the closet was covered with green and white paint. I removed the paint and planned on leaving the threshold natural, but it looks like someone left the light on in the closet and it's shining under the door. Found an old can of Minwax stain at my parents' place. Dark walnut. It's a perfect match. :) How lucky is that?

It's not the cost of new, it's the shopping, trying to find a match, and then getting something that you use a tablespoon of and hate to throw the rest away.

I used to save tablespoons of stuff but then they thicken. I have lately been going around throwing out anything left less than 1/2 cup. ;)
I recently had a mishap where hubby had slung an extension cord over a protruberance on a tall shelf at the end of the garage. Wellllll apparently my license plate must have hooked on the cord and as I backed out the shelf started to come over including a partially used can of spray red paint which exploded. I am thinking if it would be worth it to paint the floor of the garage grey again. (for resale of the house.) My car is that color red.:rolleyes: Most of the paint hit a storage garbage can, the floor and a spare wood burner.:mad: Will have to burn the paint off of that.
I don't look for extra work. I MAKE extra work.
