Wood Floors Don't Match: Stall Project or Refinish Later?
Comments (17)@zorroslw1 LOL I hear ya, I'm not too far from the edge myself, but I think this particular issue may actually leave me be! @grapefruit1_ar Thanks for your kind words! And to everyone else for chiming in! A small update: My renovation project manager came over to my apartment yesterday to discuss loose ends (house call on a Sunday... thank god he lives a 20 minute walk from me—plus, what a good dude!). There are a few blonde planks feathered into the hallway that are next to some much darker pieces. He agreed the floor guy should've chosen better pieces for the transition so they'll be replacing those. But cherry picking blonde planks throughout the kitchen floor and replacing them is going to be a bigger deal because they're locked together at the ends and stapled down (maybe he said glued down? I can't remember). So that's a no go and I'm fine with that. Anyway, I'm already feeling a trillion times better. I'm sure a slight nagging feeling will bubble up now and again, but I know those feelings (like the floor color!) will fade in time....See MoreVinyl Plank vs. Engineered Hardwood Flooring and Transition Issues
Comments (3)I have vinyl plank with huge dogs in my walk out basement where they have free access to a large dog run it has been in for 11 yrs and still looks awesome. We have a laminate on our main floor that looks like slate and has also stood up to the brats for 11 yrs there is no way wood could have handled all that abuse. IMO laminate or vinyl plank in good condition is better than scratched up wood floor that would have to be refinished before sale. We now have a great pyrenees as our 2 old dogs have passed away and he really is rough on floors , no wood could possibly stand up to him.The pic is the laminate floor and the old dogs...See MoreDon't Buy Provenza LVP color The Natural, any one els have this issue
Comments (60)All you who have installed The Natural, does the painted bevel bother you? On the sample, I borrowed from the showroom, the painted bevel doesn't blend with the color of the flooring as well as other Provenza LVT in the Moda Line. The bevel stands out and looks like a distinct line. Im about to purchase so Im just curious if this is something you dont see once its installed on a large scale....See MoreHelp with kitchen backsplash ideas that don't clash with new floor
Comments (240)What a charming house! You've done great. I had somehow missed this thread up to this point, and I did not read all (or even a significant fraction) of the previous responses. I have a 1910 house and also don't like subway tile. But I wanted something that fit the era of the house. I ended up going with a simple (and extremely cheap) 4x4 white field tile capped with a contoured molding tile (that almost but doesn't quite match the field tile because I couldn't find a molding I like from the a manufacturer that did a 4x4 field tile that was 4x4 rather than 4.25 x 4.25. Adds to the charm). I have very few uppers, though. I think a 4x4 white (or gray, since you seem to think white is too stark) field tile with black or charcoal pencil liner would be cool. These all show a pencil liner with subway because that's what the popular kids are doing, but it would work as well with a 4x4 or other basic field tile....See MoreEleanor Smith-Litt
