Comments (2)Although im not a fan of maple. Not for any reason other than i get tired of dealing with it over the last 10 years. I think you could maple or hickory. Do you have a budget set? Have you decided on prefinish or sitefinish? Call up a few hardwood floor pros and ask for samples then you can get a better idea of what you are getting yourself into...See MoreHelp needed in choosing hardwood floor stain color (PICS)
Comments (3)Your house is very pretty! I personally like darker wood floors especially with white trim. I have red oak also, and used "Provincial" minwax stain which is a little dark but not so dark that every blonde hair would stand out. It has a satin stain. I'll try to post a pic - not real experienced with that. On the kitchen forum there are alot of threads showing wood flooring with white trim (or cabinets) I think darker flooring looks more elegant, while lighter (natural stain) looks more country. Your house fits the elegant catagory! the pics look a little different because of the lighting. There was no flash used for the first pic...See MoreHardwood floor stain - please help me choose (PICTURES)
Comments (27)Here's the final result with #3 (50% classic gray and 50% weathered oak). The pictures vary depending on the angle/lighting and may not do it justice, it looks great to us, nice neutral grey/brown color that isn't too dark (or too light). Some "pink" hues may just barely show from the red oak but it's only after I analyzed the pictures on my computer that this occurred to me, in real life it's not something we personally see.
