New wood floor for the caretakers bedroom

Our bedroom was part of the addition and started with a concrete floor. We knew we wanted a wood floor to tie this room in with the rest of the house so had the concrete poured 1 1/2  inches lower to allow a 3/4 inch sub floor and a 3/4 inch floor. My brother and I installed the sub floor some months ago but this week we installed the tongue and groove  pine floor.

Finding a stain that closely matched the living room was tough. After buying several stains and mixing them together in different amounts , finally came up with an acceptable formula. After applying a wood conditioner to allow the stain to be more even, applied the stain followed by three coats of polyurethane.
