So now you all see the dilemna. One shade looks good, 10 minutes later a different shade looks better. Different in each room, different in daylight vs. night, etc. The choice is proving to be difficult, but a choice will be made!

I'm usually pretty good with these decorating color choices, but I think the problem here is that the two rooms are two different styles, but require the same flooring.

I welcome more input from anyone who cares to weigh in on the shade of WeinerJujufloor. Thanks everyone who has given ideas and suggestions.

P.S. to Mware

I think I'll pass on the astroturf idea, but the next time I'm planning a miniature golf hole in my dining room, I'll give you a call!

Pick the color that most appeals to you and then go out and buy new furniture that will match it. :)

That's a great idea Grooch, if only the budget would allow it!

Which one do you and Weinermrs like?

So we're going with the rich colored floor #3, right? Ok, then, it's settled. Good pick.

Budget, smudget. That's what credit cards are for.

But that's the problem Car, at various times we have liked all three. #2 kind of snuck in there as a choice, because originally we were trying to decide between 1 and 3. I know it's hard to tell from the pictures, but they give a pretty good approximation of the color choices.

Although Weinermrs has a better overall decorating sense, I am usually the one who is better at color choices.

They always tell you to go with your first instinct. We both liked #3 the best first, and have been wavering ever since. I'm bringing some samples home this weekend, and we will look at them in both daylight and at night, and we will by golly choose one before the weekend is up.

In reality, we would probably end up being happy with whatever we choose, but I want to be sure. Fools rush in...... blah blah etc.

While I was posting, Goddess and Fanny gave two very decisive answers. I like that.

I don't know, Weinermr. I bet you'd be the hit of the neighborhood with a little PuttPutt course in the house.

<Mware imagines Weinermr's company coming and being told that they can't have dessert unless they can roll the Swedish meatballs into the clown's nose...>

I admit it takes some getting used to, but in the long run, it makes sense to me!

#2, as it is darker than #1, and lighter than #3, while still providing decent contrast in colors. Since it has to work for more than one type of room, you get a little of both #1 and #3 with this floor, making it the most likely candidate to work best in every situation.

#3 is the best choice!! We got new flooring a few months ago and I can't tell you how much it improves the house, plus it doesn't show dirt or spots like carpet does, and with a 7yr old 4-6 cats, and 2 dogs our floor gets plenty of use!!

I must disagree, Lance/Dad. Choosing #2 evidences a lack of daring and commitment. Anyone addressing such a floor would have to register that a compromise has been made rather than a statement. A bold, warm, inviting statement is just what the Weinerman and his missus need in their flooring. #3's the one.

My floor looks like #2, and my house is warm and inviting......(Suits has bottom lip pooch cause Goddess hurt her feelings, made her feel weak, cold and UNinviting!!!) LOL!

Suck it up and deal, Suits (LOL) - oh, hell, I just like getting my way. I don't even like wood floors - I always wipe out on them.

My kids think our floor is their own personal skating rink.....they are always skating thru...I know what you are talking about, I have gone butt first a few times!!I don't think WM knew what he was opening with this can....a bunch of women With a bunch of opinions!(each one correct, ofcourse!)

And #3 would be the perfect floor to wipe out on..

If one must wipe out on a wooden floor, I have to agree with Zachsmom that it should be a rich, inviting, bold and warm wooden floor such as that represented by #3.

Me again- thought I would drive you crazy! In the afternoon light I like 3 again!~

Weinermr

Friday, November 01, 2002 - 03:45 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Number 3 seems to be the overwhelming favorite, due to its richness in color, its warmth and style, its boldness and attitude, and it seems to be the best surface to wipe out on.

- and may I add you take a nagging extremely well, Weinermr.

Hmmmm. My wood floor is closer to the color of #3 than the other two. It needs refinishing. I've been mulling the option of having it lightened up a bit during the refinishing process, not because I don't like the color, but just because I've had it 16 years and it seems the lighter wood colors are now more "in".

But, after seeing a comparison of wood similar to mine versus lighter colors, I'm not so sure. I just may stick with my present color.

Weinerfamily, my little issue has nothing to do with yours but I just felt the need to yack.

Goddessatlaw

I'm gonna yack too, Fanny. I have to admit, whatever negative feelings I have toward wooden floors for the wipeouts I've experienced over the years, I can't deny that I have a very sentimental attachment to darker wooden floors. My grandparents, whom I loved dearly, had darker wooden floors and I always associate them with their house - warm, inviting and loving. Not necessarily child-friendly, though, with the small area rugs that create their own special brand of magic carpet ride, but you get the picture. I am biased in my tastes for darker wooden floors. End of true confession.

PS having said that, I still don't want my own dark wooden floor, but I like visiting those belonging to other people.
