leftontheinside We got our First Crush installed a few weeks ago, and there are saw marks. Some of our samples made them look very busy, and others didn't have them at all. We went through a local flooring store. The saw marks are definitely there, but not noticeable when looking at the floor as a whole (I looked at a lot of pictures because the saw marks were almost a deal breaker). We love the floors. They are beautiful! HU-751872317 We got a custom taupe stain made that coordinates well with the floor. If you still need something, I can get the formula.

We chose Krypton and have received our 51 boxes. We're still doing floor prep and will be a while before we start installation. Nathan is installing Krypton now, and looking at stair nosing.

Here is the Ravenswood installed. You can see more on our Instagram account. It sometimes pull pink and sometimes gray, but it's a nice saturation. Not too light, not too dark. I don't love the bevel and how wide/long they are, but they are very wonderful overall. We have lots of green trees around the house to counteract the pink in the floors, so they look pretty natural in our house. The one downside of the Ravenswood is that is does seem to change color a lot based on natural and artificial lighting, so I would suggest getting some long planks of it before you buy.

@ci_lantro Oooh - I like that one too. Our iron door (not yet in our possession) will have 5 glass panels of what is called "water cubed" glass, so the varied glass on this fixture sort of fitting. The door will otherwise have very simple straight lines - black iron. I do have a first impression of this fixture seeming more Mission style - but I do see how it is very transitional (mid-century, craftsman) too. As much as I want to jump into this purchase so all these finishing touches can be in before move-in, this might be one best left until AFTER we have the cabinets, flooring, doors, windows, counters, paint, etc. in and done. I'm not a professional designer, but think I generally do pretty well figuring things out - this one just not getting that aha moment yet. I'm really a "less is more" person when it comes to design - bottomline, I want anyone walking into our home to NOT have to think too much - everything must be simple lines, have a sense of calm and belonging to the space, no clutter or stand-alone reason it is there. We will be using a luxury vinyl plank - WPC or SPC - which is another immediate issue of decision. So far I like the more realistic looks of Republic or SLCC brands, but I can't quite put the exact type/color together yet (grays with brown and black undertones I think will end up in the choice). Kind of want the choice to have a bit more modern than rustic look - will create a new thread for this dilemna, which I know many struggle with - knowing the stains for our beams and island will largely help me get this figured out.
