I have fallen in love with wood all over again.
I sell all sorts of ways to cover your floors....
Real hardwood flooring is gorgeous but requires a great deal of care.
Just think of how you need to protect your fine furniture from everyday
wear and tear.
You use coasters right?
You don't through your car keys on your dining room table,
right?
You wouldn't allow your dog to run across your dining room table either,
It would scratch it.
Well.....
imagine you now have a whole house or room to care for in the same way.
This is something I could not deal with.
Laminate and vinyl flooring has come a long way.
Not to mention porcelain wood tiles for the floor.
You can run your flooring up the walls.
Vinyl wood tiles
Love this chevron patterned wood floor.
(and my colors....black & white)
More ways to have your wood floor installed.
they will also install wood flooring like this ( above).
If I had this beautiful wood floor.....
and someone came to my house and had a tiny pebble
stuck in the sole of their shoe
and proceeded to walk all over the house with me -
there would be a deep scratch all over the wood floor.
OMG!!!
You say...."well, just sand it and refinish it"
NOT!
You would never get the finish to match exactly.
This would just flip me out.
That is all I would see when I walked in the room.
This is why I think all the other wood floor alternatives are the best options.
*Laminate, porcelain and vinyl wood floors
Sanity!
On the left of this picture are cobble real wood tiles.
These are also cobble real wood tiles
Wood just gives atmosphere to a space.
A warmth.
The coziness that I crave.
Cross sections of lumber and cross sections of twigs.
You can also lay your wood floor symmetrically.
It's a great look.
*There is an example in one of the pictures at the beginning of this post.

Yes. This is porcelain too.
Here the wood flooring is run right up the walls.
Love It.
Here beautiful laminate flooring can be applied to the walls.
Laminate flooring comes in all types of finishes and colors as do
real wood planks, vinyl wood flooring and porcelain tiles.
Real wood tiles.
I adore how this wood is applied to the floor.
It can go contemporary or traditional.
Cut wood planks stacked to create a wall covering.
*Here's another tip
You can use laminate or vinyl wood flooring to make a table or desk top.
There is just so much you can do with wood flooring!!
You really must go to see my favorite wood and vinyl flooring site.
