1. First I started with cleaning out the room
2. Disconnected the radiator and moved it outside the room.
3. Patched holes and cracks as good as possible with wood filler. (whatever brand)
4. Sand floor. I started with a medium-grit paper, since thats the one I had laying around. Next time I would use a more heavier grit paper.
5. Vacuumed twice!
6. Apply primer. I used two coats of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3. This was good since it filled up the cracks in between the wood.
7. Waited 24 hours. I wanted to sand once more but after two coats of primer the floor felt smooth enough.
8. Apply one coat of paint. After a few days of heavy discussions I made the decision to have them painted black, Behr “Raven” Black. I used a brush for the corners and a roller for the rest.
9. Waited 24 hours and installed the molding around the baseboard. Once that was done I painted the baseboard and molding Swiss Coffee (Vaspar)… in the process I painted all the molding around the windows and doors too.
10. Waited 24 hours and painted another coat of “Raven” black.
11. I had some leftover Hammered Silver (Rustoleum) and painted the radiator silver.

The floor took 2 days to completly dry. I’m very happy with the endresult, a modern, clean looking room… now I need to buy some decorations!
