As I tend to like consistency, my preference is always to use the same flooring throughout the house, with complementary selections in the bathrooms, entry halls and kitchens. For my dream home, I very quickly decided on black stained or painted wood floors throughout. I love the crisp timelessness of them. After that primary decision, the next one is this: should they be glossy, matte or somewhere in between?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/736x/68/6b/42/686b420965a96f5f92654d4629d7d5d7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/736x/68/6b/42/686b420965a96f5f92654d4629d7d5d7.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/celebrity-homes/2012/brooke-shields-new-york-city-townhouse-slideshow#/slide=11" target="_blank">Brooke Shields NYC townhouse</a>, designed by David Flint Wood, photographed by William Waldron</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/736x/46/0c/c2/460cc25da8ea97825caf33396229acd2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/736x/46/0c/c2/460cc25da8ea97825caf33396229acd2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/celebrity-homes/2012/brooke-shields-new-york-city-townhouse-slideshow#/slide=11" target="_blank">Brooke Shields NYC townhouse</a>, designed by David Flint Wood, photographed by William Waldron</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/736x/9b/4f/b1/9b4fb1f20cceeffa561aaae2095cc978.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/736x/9b/4f/b1/9b4fb1f20cceeffa561aaae2095cc978.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">via <a href="http://pinterest.com/linda_merrill/linda-s-dream-home/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/736x/81/a3/6e/81a36e7300b973edc88e58113ea05317.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/736x/81/a3/6e/81a36e7300b973edc88e58113ea05317.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/736x/a3/26/20/a326205f76e5a0c0e4337d95e702ad41.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/736x/a3/26/20/a326205f76e5a0c0e4337d95e702ad41.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/736x/fb/be/05/fbbe0550f5d6a34bf17c5da7ca4cdf06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/736x/fb/be/05/fbbe0550f5d6a34bf17c5da7ca4cdf06.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.crisparchitects.com/newhomes/small.html" target="_blank">Crisp Architects</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/736x/3e/a7/0a/3ea70ac101c3972215bc72e33cd5bee7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/736x/3e/a7/0a/3ea70ac101c3972215bc72e33cd5bee7.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/736x/09/1f/62/091f62f23463b51b822355b5337bb9b5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/736x/09/1f/62/091f62f23463b51b822355b5337bb9b5.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">via <a href="http://houseandhome.com/design/photo-gallery-michael-angus-interiors?page=1" target="_blank">House & Home</a>.

(photo by Michael J. Lee).  Love them. These unwaxed were linoleum school tiles.<br /><br />I think I am narrowing in on doing the semi-gloss black floors through the house, with a painted white diamond pattern in the front foyer. I was originally thinking marble, but given the New England historical style I am working in, the painted floor just feels a bit more "right". <br /><br />If you would like my help on your dream house project, I would love to chat with you!
