Our house is still definitely under construction, but I thought I would share some photos!

Here's another

Annie, what color is yours?

Looks so good Annie ! Gail - I believe this whole thread is all photos of “First Glance”

I thought so but it looks so different in all the pictures. I want a medium color to go with dark cherry cabinets. The shop had me bring a sample of French revival and I like the shade but I’d like something just a little lighter. Any recommendations?

I chose this one because I think it has more warm brown and gray tones in it. A dark cherry wood might clash with it a little bit?

Looks very pretty!

Thanks everyone for sharing your pics of First Glance! I just pulled the trigger on this and have been having second thoughts. Glad to see pics of it actually installed. Looks great! If you have any more pics, I’d love to see them. It’s been so hard choosing, every pic look so different because of lighting.

I know I liked the flooring better installed. It will look lighter or darker in various rooms depending on the lighting in your house. It seems to be a color that looks good with everything.

While I chose this color because I didn’t want too much variation. I’m now worried that there isn’t any variation at all? I’m hoping it’s just a few of the photos that’s showing that. Those that have this installed, does it have a “wood like look”? I’m worried that it will look like one solid color 🥴

There is variation. My husband was worried it would look bland but once installed you’ll see the differences in the planks. There are “darker” knots and lighter graining. Lighting makes a huge difference on the floor so be sure to look at it in daylight, nighttime, in the shadows etc. I agree with Louise that it looks way better installed. The sample doesn’t do it justice.

I’m sorry, I didn’t really answer your question Amber…yes. I feel like it has a nice warm wood look.

Hopefully you can see the variation in the flooring. It looks like wood and this is under natural light coming in the room. it has light and dark graining.

Not sure if these help or not. (Amateur photo on left, professional middle and right.)

Thank you so much for sharing! Relieves my worry 😊 I def see some variation. With the small sample I have, I was unable to see much wood like texture. So I was starting to panic. Lol Thanks again for sharing. Much appreciated!

@Louise Buckley What is the paint color in your family room--it is lovely!!

Behr Sandstone Cove

Has anyone had any wood stain done to match First Glance? We ended up having to do hardwood on the stairs, and I'd love to see what people did!

@mmolstre, love the kitchen backsplash! do you know the name?

@mmolstre , what’s the paint color in your fireplace pic ? Thanks !

Marina, have you had your flooring installed? please post pictures when you do.

Not yet 😳 in the next couple of weeks but trying to pick paint colors

@Marina Milonova: SW Agreeable Gray is on the walls throughout the house!

@Liz C: A bit late, but the backsplash is Mallorca white ceramic tile - it's a "zellige" style tile.

@Annie Collins My fireplace built-ins and kitchen cabinet lowers are stain matched. It's hard to tell in the photos because the light reflects differently in photos vs in-person. In-person, it is very close.

@Amber Gregory - HI ! Did you end up installing First Glance? I am about to pull the trigger on that floor and wondering if you're happy with it.

Hi! Yes, we have been very pleased with our choice! Extremly happy that I pulled the trigger on it! It’s a nice warm neutral color-that goes with any style.

Looks great in your house. I think it is a great neutral color. Happy you like it! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

@amber Gregory Does it have a slight red or pink cast to it? Wondering if my sample is deceiving?

IMO First glance is quite uniform neutral brown tan grey beige . No pink no yellow no red cast. The painted bevel blends in. The boards don’t differ much from each other if that’s what you are looking for. Installed looks uniform with linear streaks that i didn’t prefer (see the video on the Provenza website). I don’t prefer painted bevel nor the feel of the bevel edge under bare feet. The Provenza website video is 100% how install appears IRL IMO. Good luck.

We just finally are almost done with our project & her is First Glance in different lighting

Looks really good, Marina!

Amber Gregory, how are you liking the color? I want a nice warm medium brown. The color of the floors in your photos is the color I’m going for but it looks so different in others photos (lighter and more gray) how have you liked them?

@Marisol Molstre your kitchen is beautiful. What color did you stain your kitchen island? This is the look we are going for and we are probably choosing First Glance for our floors. Thank you!

@Autumn Kieley, thank you! It's a custom stain on white oak. We worked with our guy until it looked right. And, I will say, it was a pain. Our lowers and the island were installed before we approved the color and they had to take them out and redo it...two more times. That said, we do love the look and it was worth the hassle!

@mmolstre I absolutely love the look of these floors in your house! It is exactly the color I am going for. I am also considering Finally Mine & Oak Ram (which I cannot find any pictures of). Finally Mine looks a little lighter than First Glance, would that be your same opinion?

I am hoping that 2 years later you are still pleased w/ these floors? My biggest concern is cleaning them - I am not looking to see water droplets off my dog's chin & foot/pawprints on my floors all the time, if I can avoid it!

I was about to install Oak Ram but the pattern repeats are KILLING me. Anyone have it installed!?!?

I have a sample of first glance and I really like it but am worried about the feel of it underfoot. It seems very rough. What are your thoughts? Also does it show dirt easily? How easy is it to clean?
Now that you’ve had I it for a few years iI really appreciate feedback

@Cynthia Loftus just curious if you ever decided on the First Glance? I have a sample ordered because I loved it in store but, like everyone else, trying to find more pictures.

Hi Karen-I ended up with. Coretec Goldin oak. I started out like so many—. I didn’t want bevels, variation, etc. but after going through so many samples and pulling my hair out I picked goldin oak. It is very realistic and I love the shade. I wish it was a softer texture but I’m getting used to it. Wearing socks helps!

@Cynthia Loftus so funny you say that because I am in love with the Goldin Oak but my husband wants me to try and find something cheaper. We must have the same taste. Thanks for the reply.

Wow! Well I was able to purchase it on sale at pro source during the July sale. For $5.94. You can also find it for a comparable price on a few of the online dealers.
Funny my husband was the one that really loved it and I didn’t want to spend that much money. He won and I’m happy.

Now if you want to check out another LVP my best friend has a floor that I love. Shaw Alabaster. It is a lighter shade - micro bevel - less variation - easy to clean and smoother. I almost copied her floor. A totally different look but beautiful.

Let me know when you make a decision.

Karen Wiley We are still in the middle of installing and remodeling but here are a few pictures.

@Cynthia Loftus that is gorgeous. I love the color. My floors are extrmely light now so want something darker and this is perfect. I have the store sample right now and see what you mean though about the texture. Why is this the hardest decision I have ever made? 😝

You are not alone. And my husband kept pressuring me to hurry up and pick a floor . 😩🙈 Mine is getting installed in my entire first floor (concrete) at the same time we are remodeling the kitchen so it’s a big deal. I had ceramic tile for 25 years and am so glad to get rid of it. I spent $2500 to have the tile removed! Upstairs we have engineered hard wood and love it but I tried it in one room downstairs and it was destroyed by dogs.
I had so many samples of LVP I gave them away to a designer! The fed ex guy was on a first name basis!I finally decided to go with coretec to narrow down my choices. But oh man they have tons of choices as well!
I used a coretec designer and she kept sending me samples for free. The ones I reallyLiked I asked for more than one plank and she would even do that for me. . I bought one box of blonde oak and one of goldin.. and by that time I was going to make a choice and live with it.
I even started to panic when the first row went down. But then all of a sudden I was in love. 😍🌈☀️❤️

There is a Facebook group that posts pictures and advice. It’s: luxury vinyl flooring advice by floor city. com
I found it very helpful.

@Cynthia Loftus just following up to let you know I ended up going with the Provenza First Glance and I love it. The Facebook group you recommended was so helpfu! Thanks so much for all the information.
