For your kitchen table, choose a table that is medium to dark wood to contrast the floor.

I have never been attracted to light wood floors, in style or not. The ideal time to refinish floors is when no one is living in a house. I would go for it if it won't break the bank. You may need to refinish the banister too. I think the light stair treads may be just fine. Even so, if you can't refinish at this time, you still have a beautiful home.

Good luck!

I would suggest a glass-top table with a wood base/frame that complements the cabinetry color.

I like light hardwood floors, it keeps the rooms bright! To me, it is more modern than darker floors. But that's just me!

I agree with hayleydaniels that the oak floors are classic and timeless. Yours look to be in great condition too; refinishing them just to have a darker stain might be a waste of money and time that could be better spent elsewhere . Once you paint and have your own furniture and decor in your new house, you may be happy with them.

Congrats on your purchase, your home looks beautiful. I would not fret over the golden oak color. Once you start to decorate with contemporary furniture, artwork, accessories ,etc everything will come together. Changing the wall color will make a huge difference! I would look at Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray which coordinates beautifully with your floors. You could even go White and certain dark colors as well. See image below for inspiration for kitchen table. You can shop on Houzz and search from many inspirational photos. Good luck

If you don't love the floors, DO them before you move in. If you do that, paint out the oak bannister to a satiny black and.......you can even have a paint mixed and paint the treads to virtually match the floor, if treads become an issue.......and add a great stair runner, sisal, patterned animal print, whatever! Do it prior, because it sure is a pain later.

Your floors are gorgeous!! I would never darken them. With the money that you save from not redoing the floors I would use to put wooden floors in the kitchen.

Thanks everyone!! I am feeling good about the floors now, I will keep them as is (they are in good condition). Still need to find a kitchen table -- like the idea of glass with a dark base. I think a big dark table will be too much dark. And will a cooler color paint go with such yellow-toned floors? My old house was all Benjamin Moore Harbor Haze. Not going to do the whole house in that again LOL but maybe one room.
