Hardwood dilemma for kitchen/great room
Comments (3)constantinople, I can't wait to see your 7 inch birch floors which sound like they will be beautiful! I was thinking of going with Mirage Birch Engineered Wood floors but the cost was more than the BR-111 Brazilian Cherry so that is what I went with. I also loved the maple but felt the birch wood added more depth. I was bored of oak and wanted something different. I also never liked knots so was looking for a wood with minimal knots and not too busy of a grain. I was suprised how much grain Brazilian Cherry has in the 5" wide plank compared to how little I saw in the 3.25" wide plank....See MoreSpace design dilemma in great room
Comments (2)So I would go with the first layout. Expand the wall so that it lines up with garage. Then consider doing bookcases with piano centered and tv above. The tv would only be slightly above eye level. Or option two but instead of fireplace in center that would be tv and piano would go on one side and chest on other. Or as shown but tv on one side piano on the other. By expanding the wall out, you will have room for built-ins and not sacrifice any more floor space....See MoreEntryway to Great Room Flooring Dilemma
Comments (4)Thank you all for the suggestions. I'm glad I wasn't off with considering the wider planks and staining it all the same color like walnut or oak. Behind the closet doors is a wet bar and plan on removing the doors and the updating the sink and countertop. The house is on a slab and have talked about staining it, but I think it might feel sterile and cold. My current home has all slate flooring so I'd like to change it up and not incorporate any slate. Beth, so funny that you mentioned the door and wallpaper, cause on the list of must do along with the flooring is a new front door, change lighting fixtures, and removing the grasscloth wallpaper! I also MCM and hope to incorporate the style into this home. If anyone finds anymore pictures of different wood floors in the same area, please share! My search isn't turning up much....See Morehow to cozy a great room with corner fireplace
