Provenza Flooring - First Crush, Finally Mine, At Ease?

4 years ago

Back again on the Provenza topic. Still having a hard time picking out flooring BUT we have narrowed it down to the Provenza line. I got samples of True Story, At Ease, Sweet Talker, and Loyal Friend. After more research and looking online, I am wishing I had ordered samples of First Crush and Finally Mine and kicking myself for not doing so.

So with that being said, anyone have personal pictures of samples or actual pictures of the flooring in your home? It's between the First Crush, Finally Mine, and At Ease(it's quite knotty).

I will add pictures of the samples I received in the next post.

Thank you!!

I read the post tile as a story, as in:

Provenza flooring was my first crush. It's FINALLY MINE! I am at ease.

I'm staring at my sample boards of At Ease and Finally Mine right now, trying to decide!

I will give you my impressions to see if it helps you at all. There are some pictures of Finally Mine floating around on Instagram but I am having a more difficult time finding At Ease. I have true story here too but think it's darker than I am looking for.

At Ease seems to be warmer, with more prominent veining and knotholes. it may be a touch lighter. Not orange, but warm. The painted bevel I would describe as tan. Finally Mine has more gray. It's still got warm undertones, but appears more dusky. The knotholes are less pronounced. Its painted bevel reads as darker than the one on At Ease. More of a gray-beige.

I'm really torn between the two. I am having painted cabinets so I have some flexibility. I really think we all spend time agonizing over these colors but they are all pretty. I'll send you some pictures of my big samples tomorrow.

Please keep me posted on what you decide.

If anyone has more pictures of these colors, I would love to see them!

i have samples right now in my house of finally mine, first crush, and at ease. At ease is definitely the most "warm," but it seems to have a pink undertone to me (it also has less crosshatching texture on it). Both First Crush and Finally Mine are more neutral, almost grayish--but both have warm undertones as well. I think they pull warm if they are next to more warm colors/cabinets, etc, and can also go a little cool if you have them near cooler toned furniture, etc. The main difference between Finally Mine and First Crush is that Finally Mine is the same exact pattern/texture, just a shade darker. The brown streaks/spots are a little more prominent. The painted bevel is a hair more tan on Finally Mine, and a hair more grayish on First Crush.

I ordered a couple boxes of First Crush to layout on the floor. I read one persons comments about a few hundred dollars being a good investment into making sure the color is right. Good advice. Thanks for the comments back. They are all appreciated!

Finally mine can be super gray depending on the light. I like it but I’ve realized that the 3000k ceiling lights I put in don’t help. You will want lots of very soft white light to get it looking tan to light brown. It looks gorgeous and a rich brown an hour before sunset! Here is Finally Mine in hazy noon light on top of a beige carpet and then a mix of overhead lights and soft white lamps. Myself I really want to see First Crush and Be Mine, neither of which the only flooring store with Provenza near me has samples of!

AJD Which color did you end up going with? First Crush is my top contender but want to make sure it’s not too busy when it’s all laid out.
