Does anyone have photos of dark hardwood floors - and especially if you used white molding. Thanks!

I don't have any photos from old house but we did med cherry floor with white baseboards. We used white quarter round and it looked really nice, made the baseboards look fancy.
In current home I have light maple cabinets and med cherry floors soon to be installed. I will be again using the white baseboards with white quarter round. But for the trim at the base of cabinets I will use light maple quarter round. If I used white that would look off to have white stripe between light cabinets and darker floor.
I highly recommend the white quarter round regardless of the floor color. I have seen the quarter round in the floor color but prefer the white.

I just posted this photo in a recent post called "Should I choose a Brazilian Cherry floor?" Our floor is fairly dark and does have white molding, which I really love.

If you are thinking of a super dark floor (almost black) be warned that the darker the floor the most easily dust specks show. You will be dusting a very dark floor daily to keep it looking clean.

We've an open floor plan in our living room with darker solid wood floors throughout. At one end is the kitchen with maple cabinets and island sink and dishwasher. At the other end of the floor is a chocolate colored leather sofa ( http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=252644&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results&zip=98296 ) with decent space in between. I was thinking of adding a white dining set from Dania ( http://www.daniafurniture.com/home_dining_tables/item/3081 ). I was wondering if it'll look odd if I've a white dining set with dark brown sofa two feet away. Also I'm thinking of painting the walls behind the sofa in sage green color (herbal wash from sherwin williams). I'd greatly appreciate any advice. thanks.

I have natural maple cabinets and a cream-colored island, which you can barely see in the top pic, with a warm medium-dark glaze (called caramel) that perfectly matches my warm medium-dark stained maple hardwood floor (called Amaretto). HTH. Blue

it really is a personal preference, but i am doing my perimeter cabs in a cottage white with distressing and the island will be a tuscan sun cherry with distressing. i wanted to be safe at first and do it all white, but each time i flipped through a magazine my eye went to the contrasting color on the perimeter cabs and island. good luck with your decision; i don't think you can make a "wrong choice".

The first thing I would do is get a counter depth fridge in that small space and since the space is tiny I think the same as the walls could be a good idea. I certainly would not have done black appliances and with the new cabinet color they will even be more of an issue so think a lot about this change.
