I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Getting New Wood Floors...Need Help Picking Out Which Color To Choose! I need help guys! Hubby and I are having new wood floors put in soon but we are stuck on two colors and can't decide between the two of them I have included some pictures so that you all can give me your opinions and help me decide on which floor to go with These are just sample floor pieces....the first floor is the lighter (although not by any means "light" just somewhere in between light and dark - medium I guess lol). This floor is your more "traditional" wood colored flooring. The second floor is the darker floor which hubby and I do really like - but we still can't decide on which one we should actually go with I have also included some pictures of some of the decor in my house so that maybe that will help with your final decision. First pic is just the fireplace mantle in my living room, second picture is the living room (sorry this picture is kind of dark and blurry and as you can see it was taken around Christmas, LOL), third picture is my kitchen, outside looking in and fourth is my actual kitchen. Last is just showing the wall color in my living room (again, sorry - old picture...taken an Easter or two ago lol). I wish I had better pictures of the inside but wouldn't you know when I really need them I can't find them on my computer Oh well...these will just have to do for now! P.S. - The new flooring will be going in the living room, kitchen and hallway HELP, PLEASE!!!

| I like the darker one. I think it looks more elegant and would look really beautiful with your wall colors!

| It looks like your house is French Countryish? If so, I like the lighter. If it is more traditional, then I would say the darker. Looks like you get a lot of natural light so the darker wood would not be an issue.

| I like the lighter color. It's more traditional and versatile. Also I can only imagine how obvious dust and dirt would be and show up on the darker floors.

| Is this laminate or wood? The reason I asked we are in the middle of laying laminate and I am not real happy with it. The reason I picked laminate was because of the dogs and their nails. The laminate pieces are big and the seams are too noticeable to me. I wish I would have researched it a little more before choosing what I did. If you are using wood I think color is all about your decor. Good luck but check out a finished laminate floor before choosing it. |

| We have been going thru this same thing for a month now, deciding on the color wood. We FINALLY chose one that would also look great in your house. It's a butterscotch color from Home Depot. If you like I can get the exact name. It's such a nice warm cozy color and that's what I see in your house. |

Here is a picture (I know it doesn't show much of the floor at all, but this is the only pic I had of them) that shows her dark floors, just so you can see them

| I LOVE the look of dark wood floors so I would go with the darker one!! It is so elegant and looks good against lighter walls.
