Floors...floors...floors

So the floors have been in process for the last couple of weeks...first we had some sanding problems (the new floors got all scratched up by the buffer so that when they were stained the scuff marks showed. Then we weren't sure that the cherry stain was really not bright orange. So things have been going slowly and we might be delayed by another week on the move in date. So it's hard to say if we were just so used to having light white pine floors and now we have these darker floors that we're not crazy about. We're holding off judgement until they are done -- in these photos the floors have been stained but no poly has been applied. There is definitely a difference between how the new floors and the old floors in the upstairs bedrooms. We're withholding our judgement until it's all done...and the trim is painted.

  1. I think they look great, though I will admit I too see a slight difference between the old and new, but it's really difficult to get an exact match and believe me, we have tried many times with new floors and patches and no matter how many times we think we have it right, it's are never a perfect match. But with some time and use the new floor will start to look much more like the old floors :)

    Thanks for recommending Eno's. They came highly recommended from a bunch of people we talked to. They couldn't get the tiles we wanted unfortunately, but I would definitely use them for future projects!
