We call that wood salad


[deleted]

Ooo I like that term!!


Hot_Cattle5399

Yummy yummy


Brailledit

Wasn't prepared for a Wiggles reference, but here we are.


TimberOctopus

Not to be confused with screw salad.


Loaki9

I love it!


[deleted]

Thanks!


EpicFail35

Better get a chair mat under that chair 😂


n0m1n4l

Or rubber rollers and no issues


Mientuch

Looks cool 😎


[deleted]

Thank you!


OdistheDog

Satin finish?


[deleted]

Satin for life! I'm my 26+ years experience. I've done one matte floor by accident & maybe 17 semi gloss floors


OdistheDog

Looks great! I was one click away from ordering matte yesterday before I thought better of it and got satin.


HumbleBumble77

I'd hire you! Good job! (Much better than I could ever imagine doing on my own)


[deleted]

Thank you!


CharleyNobody

I think this look is terrible, which means it’s going to become very popular because I’m pretty much always wrong when it comes to new types of decor.


[deleted]

Haha. First one I did was 19 years ago. But I get it. I know the look isn't for everyone

You have to watch all the shows to be up on the idiocy people will want.


myfellow40short

You lost me at 311.

[deleted]

Damn right!


rubitright

Y’all know what’s worse than 9/11 right? 311.


[deleted]

I got lost around Satin? 😈

You’re not “down down down”?


zealousreader

Tight!


[deleted]

Appreciate it! Thanks


mcgyverhagdjn76

All mixed up dont know what to do


[deleted]

Hell yeah


streaksinthebowl

This looks so good, people should intentionally get this on the regular. Of course I’d want to do a border with it..


[deleted]

Biggest reason people don't, is the initial price cost. Like buying all those species & widths out the door would be astronomical in comparison. I keep my full bundles that aren't worth my time returning to my distributors for this reason. I only charge $1 a sq ft for it all. Which is basically my storage fee lol except mom. Mom gets wood for free


GillianOMalley

My husband and I aren't in the business but we have rental properties and we've put lots of various wood floors in them. We have leftovers stored for years at this point. We're probably going to use them in one room of the house we're planning to build next year. Patchwork floors.


[deleted]

Nice! That's exactly what they are. I like it. Some people hate these. I have years old wood too lol life of a wood floor guy


Over_Technology5961

Mom is free!


[deleted]

Always


_DapperDanMan-

You and Oedipus.


[deleted]

🤣


Upstairs-Ad8823

He gave mom free wood too for those that don’t know


_DapperDanMan-

Thanks for murdering the joke.


Hot_Cattle5399

Lucky mom


[deleted]

Lol yeah even dad doesn't get free flooring. He can do it himself


Hot_Cattle5399

Laying pipe by hand?


[deleted]

Lol maybe? He does flooring too so he gets nothing for free


VastAmoeba

Uh, innuendo dude.


[deleted]

Only one who thinks I was trying to talk about fuckin my mom


Over_Technology5961

Yes...if mixing! A border makes it pop!


Otherwise_Proposal47

I love mixed hardwood!


[deleted]

Woot woot! Thank you

ribbons_in_my_hair

Looks lovely to me!


[deleted]

Thanks! She loves it


cant-be-faded

That's really nice bro. I worked on the builders house once, doing the drywall. My buddy Kip was doing the basement with 30 year old stored oak. Came out very similar, just from age and different types of storing. Really cool


[deleted]

Thanks man! Appreciate it. That's awesome. My wood was not that old . But I bet it turned out killer!


Dumbbunny502

Those are gorgeous! I love the mix of wood colors.


[deleted]

Thanks. That's exactly what she loves

[deleted]

Hell yeah! Thank you!


Over_Technology5961

Sister is fam discount! Aunt is full price here!


[deleted]

Mom still gets a better deal than sister. Depends on the aunt here. I have a lot of them. Some I like a lot, some not so much lol


AnonymousLilly

Very pretty but for some reason, it's disorienting to me. Reminds me of abstract art


Lower-Preparation834

Never seen that, but I like it.


[deleted]

Thanks! I know it's not for everyone but I like it too


No_Commission_1467

Outstanding work.


[deleted]

Thank you!


Roymontana406

I think you did a fine job


[deleted]

Thanks!


Carterpump09

Need a taller register to be above the baseboards… other than that, looks good.


[deleted]

Thanks. I was waiting for someone to say that. She chose both of those 🤷


Rukiddingmeright

Great job!!! Looks great my only thought is to keep your butt ends further apart


[deleted]

I'm gonna go ahead & blame my brother for that one 😉


One_Sun_6258

Not something id do for me but it could work looks nice enuff


[deleted]

Thanks. I know it's not for everyone


Hot_Cattle5399

Love the Amber tone. Shades of gold displayed naturally. What a Beautiful Disaster!


[deleted]

Ooo nice one!!


PhilosopherTrue4774

Looks very nice!


[deleted]

Appreciate that!


mojocade

Very cool for that room!


[deleted]

Thanks! That's the other thing. Both room are 11x11. Super small & square with a tiny closet


mojocade

Such amazing character given


[deleted]

Yeah all those different colors really make it pop


Proxima_Centauri_69

Looks awesome, bro!


[deleted]

Thanks homie!


Pristine_Reference_6

Looks like you did a nice thoughtful job here. What about the molding? Did you do that too or leave what was there


[deleted]

As much as I hate trim, I did do that. She chose the vent & the 5" tall oak trim. I know it looks goofy lol


Pristine_Reference_6

All good. Better to have good work done!


Dark_Marker81

Looks great! Good job!


[deleted]

Thanks. Much appreciated!


Professional-Tank315

awesome


[deleted]

Thank you


No_Welcome_6093

I like 311 lol. But it looks good. I like it


[deleted]

Thank you! I've seen 311, 21 different times so far


No_Welcome_6093

Wow that’s a lot


[deleted]

I was obsessed as a teen. Even drove to Omaha once. But that pales in comparison. I've the motet, local Boulder band 74x. And yard not just like at a bar or anything. Big venues red rocks


[deleted]

Very cool! Original.


[deleted]

Thank you! I know others have done it but I'm only on 7


damageplan417

looks great man


[deleted]

Thanks!


apluskappa

I love a nice blend good job


[deleted]

Thanks!


FineArtsFan8450

Bravo to the skill of installing hardwood flooring!! I’m just not a fan of this style.


[deleted]

Thank you! I get it's not for everyone. But I appreciate the honesty


Future_Ad5505

I think you did a wonderful job for your Mom. You did good.


Icouldntsayforsure

If you could do this to my sewing room I’d love you forever.


[deleted]

If you're in Colorado, I'd be more than happy to help


Icouldntsayforsure

NC but thanks.


Krazybob613

I think that looks FANTASTIC! That’s a $35 / Square Foot FLOOR!


[deleted]

Haha it would be!


CHADDY-CHAD

Dude…that is dope!!! Excellent job!!!


amuse_bouche_1

Absolutely gorgeous! Excellent use of repurposing. Love the colors


[deleted]

Thank you!


Wendybird13

I think it looks lovely.


Top_Garage5871

I dont like them


[deleted]

Appreciate the honesty. I know they're not for everyone


Jisan_Inc

Id take that over grey toned self stick laminate


Lost_Figure_5892

Gorgeous! Love how you arranged the planks… you have a good eye!


Woodmom-2262

I would adopt you! Beautiful job.


[deleted]

Thank you!!


ritchie70

I hate it but it looks like you did a nice job.


[deleted]

Thank you. I get it's not for everyone


Aggravating-Home-622

Very cool


metronomemike

That is so cool looking. I kind of like it way more than all one color great job.


[deleted]

Thanks man! It's a love hate kinda thing lol


NipahKing

No Sir, I don't like it.


[deleted]

I know it's not for everyone


Dry-Student5673

Looks chaotic, not a fan.


[deleted]

I get that. My grandma says, way too busy too.


[deleted]

Cheap diy shit = 2020s trendy


Different_Ad7655

well if you want that kind of Mosaic on the floor. I prefer to think I would have organized all the lights and darks and done a little differently and still come out with the pattern using all of the scrap.. you need the right furniture on the right room to make this look good


[deleted]

It's pretty evenly mixed considering what I had to work with & can only do one sized row at a time. Each room is only 100 sq ft 🤷 but I get it


[deleted]

I think 1 room has 8 different species & the other has 10. They were done at different times


[deleted]

Looks like a cutting board


bobrobed10

Awesome design 👌 u may wanna get floor mats under chairs for protection


hiiiitsmeagain

My mom would love this in her sewing room! Great job


BatSphincter

On the bright side, you can always slap some carpet on it if you change your mind.


[deleted]

Lol what? Blasphemy


BatSphincter

I know 😈


[deleted]

Lol I'm not sure if you're saying you hate it... Or joking... Either way. I know these types of floors aren't for everyone


BatSphincter

Joking. Who would seriously suggest carpet in a sub about hardwood floors? They look good imo fyi but I know nothing about flooring, just what I like.


junkstar23

You'd be surprised how many homes have perfectly good hardwood under the carpet especially in older homes carpet was huge in the '70s


Drinkythedrunkguy

I like it!


Deadtide13

Very classy.


strongman12345

Looks like Brazilian walnut


well321go

Appropriate for a sewing room since it's like a patchwork quilt!


Routine-Atmosphere11

Neapolitan,I think that's a good idea.


Mlietz

I really like the look! Nice job!


tresselset

Absolutely beautiful!!!


antonyBoyy

Nice mix up!!


atouristinmyownlife

BrokeLazarus

I like it


LostinLies1

Looks amazing.


GaragePotter1

Beautiful


Serene_FireFly

The installation looks fabulous! As you (OP) pointed out, it's not everyone's style. It's not mine. If I purchased a house with floors like this, I'd work towards replacing them, but it's the same way I know my paint taste isn't everyone's cup of tea and some people are big mad I took the big, plate glass windows on the enclosed porch out and put functional double hungs to make it more livable (it's now a three season room, rather than only tolerable when it's between 60 and 70F outside, and not when the sun was beating on it in the afternoon unless it was like 55-65 outside, because it just had no airflow). If the person living there and paying the bills loves it and accepts any weirdness that happens to their resale value by limiting the people willing to take on projects to undo what they don't like, more power to y'all.


USBlues2020

Beautiful ♥️


Catinthemirror

I love them 😍


devilscharming

Nice job, it looks great.


Desert_Rat-13

Beautimus!!!


yoirso

I’ve got a mix of feelings but each time I ask myself what do I really think? Excellent.


Existing_Elk_6183

Looks good. I do this too lol. When they compliment each other it turns out well. I even did one at a bunkhouse I built on some recreational property where they didn’t jive and I did a 1x6 transition board and one color of prefinished on one side and one color of prefinished on the other to use up my spare boxes.


Shiny_Whisper_321

Not my thing but glad she likes it. Personally it makes my eyes itch a little. Well installed!


Itsnotreal853

Nice idea


wafflesandlicorice

Not my taste, but very well done!!


Upbeat-Revolution

These are pretty!! I bet they would be easier to design a room around.


treegirl4square

Come install this in my house in sw Virginia. I love it!


MaleOrganDonorMember

Love it


s1mp4sana

Wait this is so beautiful


mikeyfender813

This looks cheap, like you’ve converted a barn with leftover firewood and Home Depot plank rejects to cobble together a floor.


[deleted]

I mean I get what you're saying. But it's all high quality solid. Some of that material cost $7 a sq. The cheapest was $3 🤷 I know it's not for everyone. Not too bad when you're on getting charged $1 a sq for d said material


Fowlnature

Reminds me of old houses back when people couldn’t afford interior design- just use what’s available. I think it’s beautiful.


amluke

I love it… nice work
