You will not find any shortage of white oaks (prefinished) out there today. Only ten years or so...I couldn't count more than a handful...if that, except for the Europeans where Red oak can't be found. It's always been my favorite through the design trends. Definitely engineered if choosing wider planks. More stability.

"We're looking to replace indoor carpet that is over 25 years old and original to our house. The living room and dining room are one big connected area that is about 30 feet long and varies in width from 15' to 22'." That describes my project to a tee. No pets though, and none in the future. Also I have good, solid, even floors. I'm planning on engineered wood. Sounds like you might want a floating LVP type of product.

Hi all, I've done lots of renovations to a previous home, and also built a home within the last year, but this paint color is just killing me. We own a rental property, and are doing some renovations in between tenants this summer. One is repainting the entire unit all one color, a light gray. I'm very familiar with grays, more so with benjamin moore, but I know a fair amount of SW too. The issue is that the downstairs living/dining has these reddish orange hardwoods. I find that they def bring out the pink/purple undertones of paint colors. When i bought the place, the woman had painted the entire unit in this fleshy beige color, the entire downstairs especially looked like a bandaid. That's the color that is on the walls in the pics I will attach. Admittedly it doesn't look bad in the pic, but in person it was very pinkish. A few years ago I painted the downstairs Edgcomb Gray, but even that appears a little bit purplish to me. So where do I go from here? I have read many posts about chroma and color family, but at this point I'm still struggling. My current home has BM White Wisp, and I love it. But it definitely has a green undertone too it that I think would be accentuated by the orange-red in the floors, right? I've been looking hard at BM Intense White, but again it has a greenish undertone. What undertone do I need to look for to neutralize the color in the floor? I want to use a super light gray, as the townhouse is in the middle of the row and doesn't get much natural light. Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations!

We have been told we should paint brick by more then one decorating person. I really didn’t want to do that if possible. i was asking for new colors now that we changed to a new color roof. Shutters, awnings, lights,etc. we live on five acres in country setting in northern Florida. All day sun in front of house. Like a desert , Reason for awnings. shutters were an after thought is why we were going to change size of awnings if we were to keep shutters on home. Thank you for your advice.
