I think it would blend very nicely with what you have without having to paint anything you weren't sure about. If in the end you didn't like it you could always paint it a darker color you thought might like better.Robin Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560952419735450648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132775263598837197.post-929859531500192812010-06-04T04:48:08.140-06:002010-06-04T04:48:08.140-06:00I would do white floors if I were putting them in ...I would do white floors if I were putting them in new like Lori's friend, or if my wood floors were extremely damaged and there was no way to fix them. Other than that I'd never paint over beautiful wooden floors. There is nothing like the patina of old wood. Don't get me wrong- I love the look too, but once you do it you're stuck with it. If you want more white in your home, I'd add some painted white furniture. Especially in a farmhouse, I think regular wood is better. If you have a room without wood floors already, maybe try putting in the white wide plank stuff new.<br />Just my opinion!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054624188896928543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132775263598837197.post-48332481655424879652010-06-03T16:21:50.749-06:002010-06-03T16:21:50.749-06:00-k here's the practical side to me. white flo...-k here's the practical side to me. white floors would be nightmareish on a farm. it's hard with my dark hard wood floors to keep them from looking grungy with all the mud and farm 'stuff' that makes its way into our house. eeek.<br />i do think they would look nice with your furniture though...<br />maybe a more off whitish.Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660435857729600125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132775263598837197.post-57267038637272879222010-06-03T15:43:02.919-06:002010-06-03T15:43:02.919-06:00Wow!

I think it would be beautiful if I stained it really dark, to hid all the marks, but that's not the look I am really after. I have been looking at Scandinavian blogs and they all have painted floors. I love them. I am so close to doing it, I even bought a gal. of floor paint. Can't wait to see what you so.

Of course you can also use area rugs to define your spaces. With that said, about 15 years ago, we put in wood floors. I also wanted the wider boards. We found some that were actually tongue and groove for ceilings, and just used the underside. It was very economical...you might also want to check this out.
