On the Floor

So, the next step in the kitchen was to add flooring. It was tile before:

But now we had a choice, choose a new tile or make it wood like the rest of the house. The whole purpose of taking that wall down was to make the space feel open...so we decided to go with wood for a seamless look and voila...

A seamless line from the kitchen through to the dining room.

This is the view from the living room to the kitchen:

We chose a darker stain because it seems elegant to me...although I was torn because this lighter one made it feel very open. But in the end we went with lucky #3.

Lighter than what was there before, but dark enough to give us some contrast. Now we're on to the business of cabinets!
