they look gorgeous!

Thank you!! I feel like they look dated and too warm/rich for the cooler green cabinets but I’ll try taking your word for it. I appreciate you!

love your green cabinets too 😉! We went a little warmer for floors too.

Thank you!! yours look great!!

Your floors are beautiful. In fact the whole place is lovely. Looks like you’re about to update the fireplace. Would love to see what you do there.

@Hellogardener good eye! And thank you! We’re doing a full gut and remodel but keeping the bones of the house, including the fireplace. It is in the middle of the room between the living room and the dining room. We are converting it so it is visible from both sides. It was closed up originally.

warm and rich is what wood is supposed to look like. I wish I had those floors.

As mentioned, your oil base poly canceled out your light stain. Contractor should know to use a water base poly with light and pastel colors.

Pale cool grayed colors are OUT. Warm realistic wood tones is what is IN. What you have has much better style longevity, and will outlast the trends.

SM what are your floors and where did you get them?

@lluvdark, they came from a company near us, Mount Hope Planing in Mt Hope OH. They manufacture the flooring themselves. Don’t know where you’re located, but they do have a website and showroom.
They’re white oak, mixed 3” , 4” and 5” widths with mini micro bevel and finished in their “Almond” stain with natural effect finish

Your floors are gorgeous!!!

The other thing to keep in mind is that no matter what color they are now, they are going to change anyway - particularly a brand-new floor. I had a nice white oak installed in a new build about 10 years ago now, and the color they are today is very different from the color when they were installed.

Good point Ally De. You all were right and I’ve grown to love and appreciate them

Already looking better with furniture!

They are beautiful!!

@Adrianna, they really ARE a gorgeous color. i think it was a happy accident 😊
