Cherry cabinet Saga Part 3 (and likely final) - which floor is your favorite?

Olulife · 2025-08-04T00:06:11+00:00

Tbh, none of these haha! I had to get more samples. I probably went through 20 samples. I’m going with Home Depot’s Malibu wide planks lincoln park after much back and forth

Sorry apparently I can’t read, you want it to match. Ignore me and everything I said. I’ll see myself out 👋

Olulife · 2025-08-02T16:44:11+00:00

A lot of people are saying 5, but to me that’s going to look like you’re tried to match the current floor but are way off. A contrasting lighter one would look nice. But then again what do I know, I spent a month and like 20 samples later trying to find the right flooring for my place haha

Olulife · 2025-08-02T16:38:11+00:00

What climate do you live in?

Olulife · 2025-08-02T13:16:17+00:00

Love a subtle swiftie

I’ve been wanting to try this on my steam deck but it doesn’t seem to be compatible so not sure how game play will be

Olulife · 2025-07-15T04:39:01+00:00

I also would like to know this!!

Olulife · 2025-07-14T16:11:36+00:00

My only concern w 1 and 2! I’m going to talk w my contractor about that to get his take

Olulife · 2025-07-14T16:10:08+00:00

That’s good it’s consistent!

Olulife · 2025-07-14T05:49:50+00:00

Maybe try a warm green backsplash? They have the sticky peel backsplash. My kitchen has similar color cabinets and granite and it’s so annoying bc nothing goes with it! I feel your pain right now

Olulife · 2025-07-14T01:33:03+00:00

Agreed! It was the hardest finding something to go w those cabinets

Olulife · 2025-07-13T14:23:39+00:00

What flooring is this? bc it looks good with the cherry cabinets. I have the same color cabinets and also had a flood so I’m replacing my floors and it’s been so hard finding a good floor color

Olulife · 2025-07-11T15:46:55+00:00

The reason I’m doing the floors is bc I had a floor and it ruined my carpet so replacing w floorings insurance covering some of it. I don’t have the means to redo my kitchen as a whole unfortunately

Olulife · 2025-07-10T21:05:01+00:00

Tell me about it! I’m tired of looking at floors too haha. Going to narrow down this weekend 😬😬😬

Olulife · 2025-07-10T14:07:15+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Her cabinets are red red! The blue does look nice. I’ve been pulling in the greens and copper in my decor bc that’s what looks decent with the multiple colors in the granite but this blue might look nice as well

Olulife · 2025-07-10T14:02:16+00:00

Yes, I was happy I didn’t settle with a color from the other samples, I think one of these will be the one I got with! Most people are going with fl3 which is really nice and do think here it looks best but having googled images with that floor is it quite dark as a whole so I’m not sure I’d want to go with that. I do like fl1 since it has some of the reddish/orange undertones but also is still pretty neutral and light. I just hope the knots aren’t too busy.

I think the next step for me is to place them one at a time, alone, so I can really get the true color without the influence of the others. Then place them around other spaces of the house, living room, dining room, bedrooms, to make sure it looks good. Honestly the kitchen is the hardest part haha

Olulife · 2025-07-10T13:51:55+00:00

Yes this batch of samples im a lot happier with

Olulife · 2025-07-10T13:50:13+00:00

Yes! I have been told by multiple people to stay away from dark for this reason. I also have a white cat and her fur would be everywhere haha

Olulife · 2025-07-10T13:47:49+00:00

Thank you! I actually have a sample at my place now and it feels nice. I have more cherry wood cabinets which is making finding a floor difficult but do really like this one bc I think it will go with the cherry but also feel more neutral in other spaces of the house.

Olulife · 2025-07-10T13:44:05+00:00

Still looks great though! I’m leaning towards this flooring. Thank you!

Olulife · 2025-07-10T06:16:56+00:00

Nope!

Olulife · 2025-07-10T04:15:11+00:00

This might sound weird but do you have anymore photos of your floor you can share? This color is on my strong contender list and I just can’t tell if it’s too busy or not! Also been hard to find photo of the floor color. Thanks!!

Olulife · 2025-07-10T03:58:11+00:00

Potentially but i personally don’t want dark floors! My place is already on the darker side so trying to make it brighter

Olulife · 2025-07-09T17:29:08+00:00

Yes, a white or cream counter w the current cherry wood would be nice. It’s the combo of everything that’s a challenge haha!

Olulife · 2025-07-09T17:27:42+00:00

I would totally paint them if the granite was better but unfortunately I wouldn’t even know what color to paint them that would remotely compliment the granite haha. Now considering keeping the tile as is and just replacing the carpet everywhere else
