Holy Piso, Batman, The Bodega Floor is Finished!
Yes, ‘Stage One” of the bodega floor is finished! The first coat of a non-yellowing “laca poliuretano para pisos” is now drying, and the floor will be ready for its first inspection tomorrow! My friend Sarah Dettman and her tour group of 20 will stop by the house to for a sample of my life here on the river.
It’s not fair to let them see this floor before all of you in the cheering section! The only problem is that Barb is not here for a celebratory test drive on the magic carpet!
The floor has been a great challenge, though I found myself questioning the many weeks of work on something that can never be sold or moved or placed in an exhibition!
Varnished tile on the left; unvarnished on the right.
The varnish pulls out depth and enriches the colors.
The tiles are not perfect; I kept reminding myself, “Lisa, this is a floor.”
“Just a little more, just a little more…” I finally said, “Stop! (Are you glad that I added the butterfly?)
Check Engines…
Barb? Clear the top deck over there at Amador, and I’ll head to Panama at the stroke of midnight! (I’ll stay under the radar!)
Open hangar doors and prepare for liftoff!
Thanks, everyone, for your amazing support! Your feedback made this project extra special! Z

It has been an amazing journey watching the creation of this amazing work of art. I find it so hard to believe that it is a fixture it looks so life like, it really could just float away on a magic carpet ride. It also looks as though you could pick it up and shake it to get rid of those crumbs. Fantastic Lisa
thank you amiga! it’s much easier to care for than a real carpet! just a fast sweep of the broom, and it’s clean! anything that’s dropped or spilled can be wiped up quickly, including paint!
Sounds like my kind of floor covering 🙂
Ha! That’s amazing! It looks like it’s floating!!
thank you! it was a great project!
Amazing.. Splendid work
thank you! a project like that is a great challenge, and it’s also great to brush on the varnish and say, ‘i’m finished!’
