Pine floors - how quickly will they darken?

last modified: 2 years ago

We are having our kitchen renovated, and our contractor had recommended that we match the new floors to our existing pine floors. Well, they just put the first coat of finish on the floors and eek - as you can see from the photos the colors are not even close. There is no natural transition spot where the floors meet - we took down a wall so we have a transition in the middle of the new kitchen/dining room space and another in an open space between the kitchen and the family room. The contractor and flooring expert are reassuring me that pine ambers significantly in the first few months, and that within a year they will be a good match. I am skeptical! Anyone have insight into this?
Thanks!
