Another great transformation – polished my dining room with Minwax Revive High Gloss

Love it!

Prep work was time consuming as I had to scrape out years of compacted sand and dirt from in between the hardwood planks especially in this room – main door in and out is here and has high traffic. But after that, cleaned and vacuumed and ready to go. I did 2 coats because I needed to fill in the gaps of the planks but it turned out better than I thought it would.

Hardwood Wood Floor Reviver – This is what I used to relive my floors!

I spent a lot of time prepping but once I was ready, I did section by section. It didn’t take long to actually put the reviver on the floor, using an applicator. Couldn’t walk on it for an hour or 2 but couldn’t put furniture back for 24 hours. I love the result!

Why Everyone is Talking About the Stanley Tumbler: A Must-Have for Every Lifestyle

If you’ve scrolled through social media lately or been on the lookout for the perfect drinkware, you may have noticed a trend—everyone seems to be raving about the Stanley Tumbler! This popular tumbler isn’t just stylish; it’s a practical, durable companion for keeping drinks hot, cold, or just the way you like them. Here’s everything you need to know about why the Stanley Tumbler deserves a spot in your daily routine.

1. Unmatched Insulation and Temperature Retention

One of the standout features of the Stanley Tumbler is its exceptional ability to maintain the temperature of your drink. Thanks to Stanley’s double-wall vacuum insulation, your coffee will stay piping hot for up to 7 hours, and cold drinks will stay refreshingly chilled for up to 11 hours. Even if you fill it with ice, it can keep it frozen for up to two days! This makes it perfect for long workdays, road trips, or just a day of running errands.

2. Built to Last

Stanley has been a trusted name in drinkware for over a century, and their products are known for their durability. The Stanley Tumbler is made with high-quality stainless steel, designed to withstand drops and bumps without losing its ability to insulate. The BPA-free lid and straw also make it safe for daily use, ensuring you can enjoy your drink without worrying about harmful chemicals.

3. Practical and Stylish Design

The Stanley Tumbler doesn’t just perform well; it looks great, too! Available in a variety of colors, you can choose one that fits your personal style. Its sleek, modern design is easy to grip, and the wide mouth makes it simple to add ice cubes, pour in smoothies, or even fit a straw for easy sipping.

The design is also spill-resistant, making it ideal for tossing into your bag or cup holder. Many users love the handle on select models, which makes carrying it even easier—perfect for when you’re juggling keys, bags, or anything else!

4. Eco-Friendly Choice

Switching to a reusable tumbler like the Stanley helps reduce single-use plastic waste. Instead of grabbing a disposable coffee cup every morning, fill up your Stanley Tumbler and make a small step toward a more sustainable lifestyle.

5. Great for Gifting

Looking for the perfect gift for friends or family? The Stanley Tumbler is a fantastic choice. It’s a thoughtful, practical present that suits almost anyone—whether they’re a coffee lover, fitness enthusiast, or someone who’s always on the go.

Floor Project Complete!

Finished my upstairs bedroom wood floor!! I love the look without having to have professionally done. I did my dining room also (unfortunately I can’t find my before pic 😕). My wood floors are real wood, from the 1950’s – 1960’s. Had many scuffs and scratches. I had to spend a lot of time to prep – scratching out dirt from all of the seams, washing multiple times, vacuuming multiple times, hours of work and backbreaking, but totally worth it!

Here’s the products I used:

It says one coat but I used 2 because my floors were older and I liked the look of a second coat. Super easy to use.
