Here is a picture that shows the floor unstained and stained. The whitewash stain is so light that you really have to look close. I thought about not using a stain, but I didn't want that yellowed wood look years later. Besides, I really, really wanted the whitewash look, just couldn't find it until the day I rented the sander. How's that for last minute?

I think it looks great, very natural. It will really brighten up the whole space too.

I am back from my marathon polyurethane day/night. I went up Monday afternoon, getting to the house after dark. I took some pre cut boards with me to install for a pantry. I got out the 2x4 boards to nail to the sides to support the shelves and found.......NO STUDS. I have no idea what is holding up that blasted closet, probably the door frame. I took a nail and punched holes in all the walls and found absolutely NOTHING that would support a shelf. Back to the planning ideas..... I decided to just build a frame/support for the shelves, but will have to do that later when I have more time. So nix the pantry idea for now.
I slept in the recliner, woke up at 2 AM and finally gave up and got up at 4 AM. I made coffee, ate some beef jerky and got started at 5:30 AM. Took over 3 hours to get first coat of poly on the floors. I visited with neighbors, unloaded 270 red bricks from our old front yard garden (there's more, but haven't pulled them all up yet) took oak firewood to DD's house, and got back to work at 12:30. Finished that coat, went to Tyler for more poly and then to Tractor Supply for 3 rolls of horse wire and topped it off with 2 - 12' gates and 1 - 10' gate. Tied it all down, went back to the house, unloaded and went back to work on the floors. I rolled out the last of it at 7:30 PM, closed and locked the door, left thermostat set at 80 degrees and headed home, pulling flatbed trailer. Got home after 10 PM. I was utterly exhausted. Slept a full 9 hours, which never happens.
I go back tomorrow for delivery and set up of our new adjustable beds, then will stay until Friday afternoon, take either DD or DSIL back with me. Moving Mom Saturday, have to have U-Haul driver for taking her furniture to assisted living facility in our new town. Get Mom set up and furniture arranged, then back home to old house Sunday and pack for move.
I am sitting here, desperately needing a hot shower, every muscle screaming TIRED! at me, must drag myself off to shower, then go get Mom and take her to the bank, post office and over to some friends house to say her good byes. I feel bad that I am taking her away from all she has known for the last almost 40 years, but I can't leave her here. Take her or leave her, it's still all my fault. Oh well. Meeting my sister in town between us to get DD's chair for baby's room and moving boxes. Sister has been trying to come help me pack, but I am never home. At least she has saved me packing boxes.
Neighbors working on fence have cleared a pathway for it, cut trees, dragged with box blade on tractor and set a lot of posts. Hope I can coordinate fence completion with moving horses. Also have to complete back yard fence for dogs. Don't want my bad-a$$ Great Pyrenees, Paris, terrorizing the neighborhood.
Off to hot shower.......

You're getting there Bay! Don't get too busy to take care of yourself, eat well and get some rest. You've got a lot of physical and emotional stresses going on.
I hope your mom will settle in to her new place and let you feel some peace about that. That's a real tough one.
I'll also be praying for you. For strength and that your move will go as planned.You've got true grit girl.
