Need help on solid wood flooring!
12 years ago
I am renovating a home on 11 acres in the "Modern Farmhouse" style and have existing cherry floors in the front hallway and study. It has lots of sap wood variation and color variation. I need to add flooring to an open kitchen/dining/family room adjacent to it. If I can't match the cherry, what hardwood might work WITH it? (I'm also concerned that if I cover new cherry with rugs, it will discolor underneath them!)
Thanks for ideas!!
