That’s absolutely stunning, Daniel — earthen floors have such a timeless warmth to them. There’s something grounding (literally!) about the way clay, sand, and oil create that soft sheen once they’re polished and cured properly. It feels alive in a way modern materials just don’t.
I’ve seen a few cob homes where the tone of the floor changes subtly through the day depending on the light — that mix of texture and depth is hard to replicate. Did you seal yours with linseed oil or something else? I’ve read that the number of oil coats and buffing method can completely change the look and durability.
Would love to hear how it’s holding up over time — any cracking, dusting, or maintenance tricks you’ve found useful? It’s inspiring to see real examples like this rather than Pinterest-perfect images.
