My wife and I have decided on going with hickory flooring from chelsea plank. Currently we are undecided on color. Does anyone have any photos to share of Paradise Bend (clear), Big Horn (character), or Sawtooth (textured character) colors? If not the colors above does anyone have photos to share of their Chelsea Plank floors? Specifically the character versions to get an idea on the knots. We are heavily leaning towards character and even textured character floors due to having kids and a dog. We are just unsure on how much character will be in the floors, we don't want the flooring to be too rustic. Thanks in advance.

Hello, my home interior walls are SW Silver Strand with white trim. Living Room/Dining Room areas needs helping hands to make them attractive. Leather beige/cream furniture, burgandy wall hangings, black wrought iron and no curtains at the 4 long 120 inch living room windows. Dining room has sliding glass doors that lead onto lanai with burgandy window coverings. All floors will be covered with luxury vinyl planks in the colors you suggest to coordinate with the silver strand walls. Can you help me make these rooms pretty and attractive and at the same time say, welcome? Help me find the right curtains for the windows, the best floor colors for the floors and would love to have an accent wall color. All suggestions appreciated.....and, you cannot hurt my feelings. Thanks bunches and bunches for your helping hands. See photos. Thanks.

I would like a droplets console on wall near stairs. whats your thoughts on furniture. there is also cathedral ceilings over living room

This was posted over a month ago, but hope this helps. When adding a new element, it often means reassessing room to ensure there is a connection. With the more casual look of a sisal (recommend a flat natural fibre style) and the white molding giving a formal/traditional feel, I’d embrace the blue on the entire wall. If possible, update chandelier, remove item next to hutch and add art that ties in with the blue. (If hutch could be centered on another wall, it may help with balance.) Consider adding drapes, if you like the look and Ikea has linen like ones at good prices. Lovely handmade pottery as a centrepiece would be a nice addition, again using blue. All this can be done slowly and I think room would have a lot more personality.
