the white oak, pictured on the left, will be our floor. a) it would have been common for old stores to have had long plank white oak floors. b) on the hardness scale (that's the janka scale for those of you who are interested), it's pretty durable. c) it was one of our most affordable options.
pictured on the right above is walnut which is the veneer we have chosen for the kitchen cabinets. i love how the two woods look together.
in other wood news, the original doors were sent off a few days ago to get cleaned up. when we bought the place, they had several layers of white paint (so many layers they barely fit into their jambs). it was uncertain how they would come out once they were stripped, but lo and behold, they are beautiful again.
they turned out so great that we've scrapped the idea of repainting them and are going to re-stain them to their original dark color.
