I love our new floors.

This was a really hard decision. It felt really important. Really visible. And really in need of the right practical decision too.

With a little help of a really skilled craftsperson who knows his hardwood floor options, we choose the engineered floor planks from Monarch Floors in a color called Foxley. Not too brown, not too gray, not too weathered, not too shiny, not too dark, not too light, not too narrow, not too wide.

They arrived and had a good 5-7 day acclimation period and then it was ready to go in...at least up to the plastic barrier that is separating the semifinished from the not at all finished.
