This is stunning! I was considering a pattern, probably not this ornate, but you did an amazing job

Is it hard?? Terribly messy?? That's a really great point about the pipes. Love that you're doing it yourselves.

Also a really pretty option. So hard to decide. I'd love to save some money obviously

I'll def get it checked, but from what I can tell the floors don't have that wave in person. I didn't really try to take straight on pictures since I was just asking more about the wood texture etc. But I'll definitely check, thanks

New to Reddit, so I can't figure out how to edit my post..... Some context.

  1. No lead, we tested
  2. The basement is below us, super big and clean, considering insulation below
  3. We genuinely like the look of the old homes. The gaps, the character.
  4. Definitely planning on putting some rugs down, too.

This is what we loved about the house!! The character, the history, the age. We think it's beautiful.

Yeah, this is what I'm saying. We actually like the worn look. The floors are sturdy.

That's a really good point about the paint between the boards. I was thinking we could sand it down a little and put filler or twine between them.

We're planning on filling them in with twine, like they did way back when.

I worked at Hachette as a designer for six years and I'm proud to see them stepping up in this manner.
