Is the house on a slab or is it raised? Wood throughout is always a gorgeous pop of color since you are leaning toward a light wall color. Here are a couple of examples of light walls with various collections we offer. The flooring comes unfinished so it is a great canvas if you wish to create a custom look!

I know exactly how you feel. I had a similar situation. The prospect of lifting the board and potentially raising the level made me wait. The wood darkened, and now I'm never fully sure where that board is. In fact, I forgot all about it till I saw this post. Wait a while. If it still bothers you in six months or a year maybe then consider lifting it. But I guarantee you won't, lol!

If your dream home was to use a white oiled finish would you choose a traditional wide plank or a modern style herringbone floor?

I have lovely limestone floor tiles in my kitchen (20 years old) that are a bit damaged and the stone seal has worn off. Bits of the old grout have cracked and fallen out and so I contacted a stone restoration company who have given me a good quote for cleaning, honing and resealing the floor, but they wont replace the grout.I want to try and get this done before the repairs but am not sure if there are any companies who do this? Or individuals? Do I have to tackle it myself or does anyone know who I would get to do the job? Hope someone can advise me...
