Wood floors.  We have 'em...but they're kinda hidden underneath 4 different carpets that cover our main floor.

Yes.

You read that right.

Instead of getting the SAME carpet so that you have a lovely, coheasive look...the people before us in this house covered the upstairs in 4 different carpets.

Now...it is not a big house.  1600 sq. feet which includes the basement...800 on top, 800 on the bottom.  4 carpets and 2 linoliums cover my upstairs.  OUY!

So wood floors.  We're going back to the lovely originals. And the advantage with older wood floors (yes, I call this an advantage) is that I get to stain them whatever I want.

Ahhhhhhhhh....

Sigh of happiness.

Want to see some of the colors I'm thinking of?  Here they are!!!

First...this beauty.

Picture found HERE

Love this color but it might have a bit too much red in it for my taste.  I love dark...but I want one that is 100% brown.  I don't know...now that I look at it again, it might be my monitor calibration...but onto some other examples.   

Second...

Picture found HERE

Lovely.  Really.  I think it's very pretty.

Third...and my favorite...

Um...love the dark, rich color.  Love.  And if you live in the Alberta area...this chair is for sale.  Adorable.   

So there are 3 examples.  I just love dark.  The darker...the better.  Not black wood...but almost.  :)  So pretty...

I like them all!

I am wondering if I'm the only one who had to type 'haphazard' into dictionary.com. My goal is now to use that word in game of scrabble.

I love wood floors!! I even like them when they creak a little :) It gives it so much character. And that last pic is SO nice and so inspirational.
