I'm being moaned at by Mrs Chri5- she's right, I promised to do the floor and haven't even sources the materials.
We live in a 1910 Edwardian Terrace and want to do the front main reception as a Colonial room, think 3 /4 white shutters on the huge bay windows, modern old style rads, nice slate fire place and a mid to dark floor offset by white 10" skirting and architrave.
So now the questions:-
I'm not convinced distressed wood is the way forward, it all looks too fabricated and some of the hand finish looks poor.
Here some Elka dark oak- the scraping looks horrid, but the colour isn't bad
So I had thought about golden oak, but the scraping will still be on it-even if you can't see it as much
So generally I think the rustic, scraped look is a no goer.
Can anyone throw in a couple of urls for sites that have solid oak in a dark golden colour, even a mid walnut would do.
Would prefer bevel 130mm + and no engineering type flooring, must be solid. Would prefer sub £40 m sq, since a need 23 m sq.
Thank for any creative ideas or links.
