I think you'll be amazed at how great a floor restoration professional can make your floors look. Plus, it's a part of your home's history and fabric. It shouldn't be destroyed for fashion even if it's a little funky. That's why God invented throw rugs.

That' almost a classic in some regions. IE: 1- 1/2" strip floors. Finding replacement material is something many struggle with, if it's needed. Are those black spots...black spots? At first I thought they were holes in the floor. The one nearest to the base I initially thought was an old radiator pipe hole.

Thanks! It's good to have some feedback that the floor isn't a complete loss.

The black spots are drips of something. So it's stained, but doesn't look opaque. It doesn't look like it will be as deep as those urine stains.

I did see something online that suggested looking for viable strips inside closets and in otherwise hidden areas. Thanks for the link for the materials though! That facility is only two and a half hours from me.

It looks like quite modest and mainly surface damage, and I agree that they will look great after refinishing. The main concern I would have is the urine stains. They can go deep and affect the color...and they can smell. It may be possible to simply sand them out, but I would ask the floor refinisher if there is some type of chemical treatment he can do first in those areas to get rid of some of the staining, and the urea which produces the smell.
