Battle Associates, Architects This was an oil and urethane finish, all natural. The color differences are all in the species of the wood. Can we help you with anything?
Entryways are a common area where we find ourselves wanting to change flooring. Stone or tile can stand up to moisture and mud tracked in from outside, but hardwood is still the most popular flooring material for the rest of the house.
This entryway has two logical transition points at the openings to the hallways. The colors in the stone also pick up the tones in the wood which makes the two materials look good right next to each other.
I actually saw this pic awhile ago and liked that it would match the stone fireplace, but then I was thinking might be odd to go from the straight lines of the outdoor brick to this???
