Hello , thank you for your helpful comments. I have been trying to develop an alternative table top though, as the glass is a difficult material to work with. I will ask my wife for a photo of the entire room for you with the table in the centre. Thanks again.

You should have a professional installer in your area take a look at your home so you can discuss what end result you are wanting. You may need to use an engineered wood. This is still an all wood product and is much more dimensionally stable than solid wood. This is a huge advantage if you are in an older home or in the midwest where humidity levels can drastically change from season to season. A solid wood will cup or curl if humidity and moisture levels are not managed. Your installer should do a moisture test before installation to make sure the installation does not fail. All warranties will be voided if this step is not taken. Also, your transitions will need to be considered. Is the new wood floor going to butt up to tile, carpet, or vinyl? The height difference in the two products will need to be taken into consideration. You will have a greater selection of thicknesses in the engineered woods. Engineered wood should be several plys, all wood. If you choose a solid wood, the hand scraped versions are fantastic for a high traffic area with children. Hickory, Red Oak, most Brazilian Species, and even Bamboo are hard enough to take everyday traffic and still look terrific. Good luck!

Wood floor?
Q

I disagree. This is standard whitewood T&G flooring. It's generally laid across joists by builders on the first floor of two storey houses as a cheap subfloor ready to take a floor finish. I've seen it sanded and varnished / stained and while it looks OK for a few months, it doesn't wear well as it's a (very) soft wood and is very noisy, particularly in the rooms under. If you want a wood finish without breaking the bank, there are some good laminates that you can lay over the T&G boards. A semi-engineered board would be better but will cost a bit more.

1930s semi d - new front door type and colour?
Q

Need to change the front door on our house, 1939 semi d. Any thoughts / suggestions on colour or type of doors? I've mocked up a solid wood effect composite, seemingly all new door companies recommend using handles (better lock mechanisms). The finger pull door lock mechanisms can get stuck. I'm not mad on the handle but. I've attached pictures of the house, close up of the door (ignore the decorations!) and the mock up of the door / colour. (We're planning on painting the second door to the left the same colour as the walls / match the new door colour)
