New Project: Replace carpet with engineering hardwood floor
Comments (2)Thank you, Gregmills84 ... Have read many positive reports on engineered hardwood versus real hardwood and the most important issue would be the cost ... I started to get information from Lowes just to get " my feet wet" in this type of floor... I consider this my "stepping stone" before I go to the "big boys" in the hardwood floor industry, which I am planning to do shortly ... I am in my preliminary steps in this project ... After I put together all the information I need, then I will analyze what I have at hand and will make a decision which hopefully will turn out to be a wise decision, based on all the information gathered ... Again, thank you for your input and look forward to hearing from other members... ( By the way, I received my first quote from Brazilian Direct)..

Comments (3)Nice thing about red oak it takes stain nicely. Dark colors and grays are then "IN" thing now, and like you stated darker will shrink room appearance, but looks like you have lots a natural lighting. Your floors appear to be natural already with oil finish on them, you may lighten them up by resanding and using water based finish. Scratches are more noticeable on dark floors. If your dogs are under 70lbs I would not be to concerned about scratches, use a good high end finish. check out our page lots of colors to see....See MoreConverting carpeted stairs with false open treads to hardwood.
Comments (2)I think the proper way is to remove the balusters, cover the entire tread and reinstall the balusters. I can't imagine a solution where Bamboo in the middle of a tread looks good butted up against a false tread end....See MoreRemodel: Carpet or hardwood OR HALF AND HALF on L-Stairs?
Comments (6)Yes, in the hallway and master bedroom. Also have a custom area rug 10x12 bound of the same color but a plush mix loop for the family room downstairs. (Thank you Patricia, I really appreciate your input)....See Morehandymac
