Do NOT do wood look title. Rather than a third unmatched hardwood, I would suggest a tile floor in either a modern mosaic or a linear tile that does not look like wood but picks up the colors in your cabinets or countertops. If cold floors is a problem, install under tile radiant heat.

Pick ONE floor and do all three rooms, or at least two. Sorry, but this is what happens with mfg flooring as opposed to sand on site. It gets discontinued. Bite the bullet, do a good white oak, stained in a medium deep tone ( sand on site) floor. You will have it forever.

I'm with Connie (but fully support Jan's statements). Choose a stone or tile look product. You already have two different woods that, so long as they are SEPARATED by a KITCHEN floor, they look relatively well matched. And that means you did one HECK of a job with that.

Do NOT wreck all your hard work in finding the newer hardwood. Everything you have right now is "out of stock". So best move on and work with a stone or tile look. You could even go with a natural coloured cork floor to get the COLOURS to match but without any of the confusion "wood grain".

The floor I'm thinking of:

10mm Desert Arable floating cork floor = all the tones you want without any of the clashes a wood floor would give you. Just a thought.

Thank you all for your helpful comments. It looks like we did actually find a match today for the manufactured hardwood floor, even though we were told it was discontinued, so our plan is to go with that choice. Although I did look at cork today and think that would be a good alternative. I'm thinking of using cork floors upstairs when I replace the carpet.

Question: since the family room floor is not an exact match to the dining room, is there a reason you'd want to run it through the kitchen?

Three things come to mind:

1) where the two different floorings meet, the difference may be very apparent

2) the boards may not be aligned going from the kitchen to the dining room, making it necessary to stop the new floor at a very ugly seam line where they don't line up. And even if they did line up it wouldn't be possible to join them with a "weave" between the two, which still makes for an ugly straight seam.

3) if you ever need to refinish the DR hardwood, you'll have other issues with the join and match once it's resanded.

Sounds like more problems down the road....?

We had a similar situation and installed porcelain tile at a 45 degree angle in our kitchen. We're very pleased and find the tile to be a worry free solution in the kitchen.
