New vs old:
The old floor on the second story is in pretty amazingly bad shape in spots — some worn painted wood like you see here, some sort of linoleum-like stuff in 2 rooms, various patches. The new floor will look something like what you see here (the oak part).

We are taking the opportunity to paint the office, since we’ve removed a good bit of the furniture in preparation for the floor work this week.
The new color is kinda peachy, and looks good against the newly-white trim. You can see the old red on the baseboard (and in a few spots where the walls need a second coat).
