Flooring Issues




Our hardwood was going in all too easy. There had been no mishaps as of yesterday. Then today we realize that somehow we must have gotten two different batches of the flooring. The bamboo that we bought is a "carbonized" bamboo which means it has been cooked which makes it darker and more dense. Therefore, the color is variable. However, we didn't realize that it would be soo different. There is a definite line in the middle of our house where apparently our flooring guys started a new palatte that contained wood from a different batch. The kitchen, dining room, and breakfast nook all have a definite line where the darker wood starts. By the time we realized it, it was way too late and there is nothing we can do about it. All we can do is hope that when we put rugs down and add the furniture that it won't be so noticeable. We are quite disapointed but what can we do?

I think this gives it the "old" look. You know, in the old houses with original wood floors there is inconsistency throughout the floors. I don't think it looks bad Randi! I think they are beautiful.
