If you are lucky enough to have hardwood floors in your home, then you know how beautiful they can be. Hardwood flooring instantly warm up a space, adds character, and is extremely versatile design-wise.

When we purchased our house, I was so excited to have hardwoods throughout. The original, 100+ year old oak floors are a true gem. That being said, when hardwood floors hang around a home for a hundred years, they tend develop quite a “patina.” At least thats what my mother lovingly calls it — she’s a very nice person.
