What to do with wood floors up against wood built in We are refinishing our wood floors and are trying to decide what to do.

I love modern and farm tables, but I’ve been having a really difficult time finding a table that works for our medium brown wooden floor. I finally found a table, but I’m unsure if it would work with our floor. What do you think?

Best floors for frequent floods It is what it is… it looks like my basement will flood from time to time. At least I learned how to clear it out within a few hours. That being said, what floors should I choose knowing that my basement will take on an inch of water a few hours once a year (maybe more with how this weather is going lol)? Right now I have a DIY Luxury plank vi…

Do you regret installing hardwood (or engineered hardwood) floors? Yesterday, I asked ya’ll this same question, but in regards to wood-look porcelain tile.

Terrazzo Floors? We bought a 1969 mid-century home last year and decided to replace the floors – they were cheap bamboo and we just didn’t like them. We discovered what looks to be terrazzo flooring underneath.

What color wood matches well to the golden oak floor and what should I stay away from? I’ve also read that cool colors work well here but not white. Will I have an issue painting our trim white? s…

Two different tiles for checkered floors? We’re tiling our kitchen and want to use the first picture as inspiration. Our local tile store has great prices on both tile and installation, but unfortunately they don’t have a ton of selection for square shaped tiles, and what they do have is 24”x24” (much larger than the picture we’re using as inspiration). The second photo is the tiles we …

Transition between wood floors and tile I am building a home and will have tile in bathrooms and engineered wood in hallways/bedrooms. In every house I’ve lived in there has always been a transition piece above the wood/tile, usually in the color of one or the other, to serve as a transition. In this setup I’m going to be able to have the tile and wood be the same level. With that sai…
