Most prefinished products I can think of are either smooth or distressed. If the Kahrs is too textured you're probably going to have a hard time finding anything you like. There's a few other things I saw in my showroom but they're similar in texture to the Kahrs Perhaps you could look into something like Garrison Collection French Connection planks or Hallmark planks with oil finish. Another option would be to site finish a floor like the one in your picture. Buy Owens engineered White Oak in three widths and have it finished on site.

I would find a match to the existing hardwood. It looks to be oak (either red or white) in a narrow plank (3" or so). This is super easy to get a match (species, width and cut). I like either natural oak (it will depend on whether or not this is red or white oak) or a light medium brown stain in a transitional/traditional home. The dark cherry window trim indicates that you would want to stay quite warm (allow the red to show through) without turning the floors orange. Once you have the species match, you can have your professional hardwood installer offer several stain samples that you would choose from. In your situation, I would love to see a 'light mahogany' in there. As for the fireplace, it is great! You might want to look at updating the hearth in front...but other than that, just leave it be as it is period appropriate to a 1950's home. And the colour is very, very easy to live with. We've seen worse. Much, much worse.

I have a feeling your husband likes the COLOUR and the PRESENTATION of the bamboo rather than the material itself. That means I would purchase a sample of the bamboo that he likes and then go shopping for a wood floor in the same colour/presentation. Happily the trend for gloss levels is matte or satin. That will automatically get you several factory finished options without having to special order anything. Remember: factory finished colours are perfect. You don't have to worry about the staining process because all of that is done for you. When it comes to 'healthy' flooring, it is easy to stick with something that is CARB II compliant. And stay away from bamboo. Yep. I said it. Bamboo (regardless of how it is made or by whom) is made up of (roughly) 30% glue. And it is the GLUE in a product that is unhealthy...not the wood/grass itself. The more glue you have in a product the more chances you have for unhealthy. An engineered hardwood will naturally have less glue than a bamboo floor. Not to mention that bamboo is picky. And when it isn't being picky...it is finicky. And when it isn't being finicky it is being SUPER fussy! Bamboo CRAVES climate control. As in PIN-POINT accurate humidity and temperature. The lower the cost of the bamboo (I would look at anything that is $9/sf and over) the more upset it becomes with poor climate control. That means you MUST HAVE whole home humidity control (whatever that means for your location). And engineered hardwood still requires climate control but it has a slightly wider range of 'happy'. Bamboo needs TIGHT control between 35% and 50% humidity whereas many engineered woods have a range of 35% - 65%. That doesn't sound like much but it is HUGE in the flooring world. Before you choose ANYTHING please check your budget (engineered worth $6/sf and over; or bamboo $9/sf or more). And then check your climate control. Make your choices based on that information.

instead of posting that listing, just post the pictures you need help with The ceilings are beautiful! The tile, not so much. what kind of furnishings do you have? what's your style? are you planning on keeping the stairway as is? (I switch out to something cooler looking This black w/the wood treads, and this wood floor, would look perfect w/your style home and the wood ceilings. these are all done w/wood flooring. (with updated staircase) you'd want to get a tone that goes w/your ceiling wood tone.
