Are these floors white or red oak?

MLex; they are white oak. We went ahead with the darkest stain.

umm, Brian Shelton, she already wen with Number one........

I'm cracking up reading all these comments about gray being so trendy - I agree - been on enough house tours to see that everyone is overdoing gray right now. Having said that, I came on here looking for images of gray floors, as my beach house, built in the 50's, has its original knotty pine floors, which are a beautiful gray. I'm trying to make my new kitchen floors look similar - like reclaimed wood - sanding and staining the whole floor to blend. Your kitchen is gorgeous, by the way! Always trust your gut, regardless of trends.

Please post pics here when you are done Ellen.

I love the grey! Can you please tell me the ratio you used to get that color? How much grey and how much of the ebony?

Love you kitchen and love the floor color you picked! Do you know what the name of the paint is on your walls? It's a beautiful gray!

rbmslzh, can you tell me the combo you used for #3? ps. I liked your choice though!! The kitchen looks great :)

Thank you! :)

It's been 2 years since this post and the black floors have really worn me out. They are too dark, and I feel as if they are sucking out all the light from my home. They are difficult to keep clean. My style is evolving to love the "farmhouse look" and because of that, I will be restaining my floors! Stay tuned!!!

Hate to say I told u so :(

Your kitchen is lovely ... well done! Keep it light & simple ... the grey is the way to go. The dark floor works works against the light walls, cabinets and finishes.

Reem -. Do you like the revere pewter? I am thinking of doing it for my home! Let me know if there are any good accent colors that go with it! And let me know what floor stain you go with as we need to do that too and I love the farmhouse look! Thanks!

Im in the same boot.. I just did my floors in Sept 2016.. I wanted light grey, weathered oak.... But could get the right color grey to work..On my red oak floors I had...Should have tried harder with the floor guy.

I went with Jacobean.. And its sucking the life out of me too..

Im searching for rugs and runners to brighten them up.. I have two golden retrievers, and all I see is there hair... Even when my cleaning lady just cleaned and vacuumed the floors.

I vacuum every other day now, which i never did before.

wish I researched more about dark floors.. way to hard to keep clean,,

And I can't restain again, it was a big process and a lot of Money... so rugs here they come..Or I sell my house..

Cant wait to see your pictures...Wish I rad your post before..Good luck. Im sure they'll be beautiful....

Gorgeous - looks like white oak!

so you did not stain it gray?

okay....lots of discussion here and hopefully I can get an answer before the am when our floor guy starts to stain (which I have yet to decide) - yikes. our kitchen is similar to yours (white dove cabinets with grey paint and neutrals on walls) and I'm looking for something darker than we have had in the past on our floors without the red undertones (red oak floors). Did you eventually use the Jacobean/Ebony mix? I've tried the Jacobean but feel it has a green undertone. I've also tried Dark Walnut but this seems like I am still not achieving the darker look we want. Any advice now that you've lived with the darker stain for awhile?

What color did you use to get the newest rendition? I asked on Instagram but never got an answer and would so appreciate knowing what you used. Thanks!

I'd love to know as well!

I think you should use number two. Gray is going to go really good. The room with the grey walls will look good with number two. It is not going to clash in my opinion, because you have the white standing out with the pattern. Number one is pretty, but it will show anything that collect to it. Would love to see pictures of what you chose.

Mackey's MPI Inc. I used white oak in my bedroom and it was country white mixed with weathered oak with a white water based finish on top called "LOBA". Currently trying to fix the rest of our floors in the house but the red oak is working against us. White oak is much easier to work with! Follow me on reems.refined.design on IG for the latest updates.

I think if you painted your walls white it would lighten your space up quite a bit. It sure would be easier than re doing the floors!

@User do you recall the brand originally used for the jacobean by bona or duraseal? trying to cover red oak floors. Ty

@Cory Connor Designs what brand of stain do you recommend for the jacobean? i have been struggling with color on our red oak floors. most colors from duraseal either dont cover and the pink comes thru or stains seem too orange or red. i just tried the dk walnut in duraseal and it seems to be very dark. i tried two bone colors- medium brown and jacobean. wondering what the jacobean brand of stain you use since i am trying to coordinate a floor with and islnd color from kraftmaid - barley color. any advice is welcome. ty
