OLD WOODWoodenit

Would it look tacky to put laminate wood flooring in my kitchen and/or bath-I have 50 yr. old hardwoods in…?

…the rest of the house. These hardwoods have the normal signs of wear, carpet tack marks from a previous carpet cover-up, etc. I really love the look of wood, but am afraid that putting laminate (in kitchen and bath) might look too perfect and fake next to my real, somewhat distressed hardwoods in rest of the house. Any ideas?

Wouldn’t go laminate. Will look out of place in contrast to the real wood and the laminate will not hold up that well in a kitchen. I have the same situation. There was worn out linoleum and we replaced with vinyl as a temporary solution. Underneath there are original unfinished floor boards but want something different. Thinking of going back to real linoleum – still made and there are some great looks out there that will blend/yet give a distinction. Have looked at real tile and the newer tile look vinyl squares – always come back to linoleum. For the bath – I used tile. Beige sandy color which fits with the new wainscoting, etc. On the wood floors – I removed the old carpet tacks by inserting a flat screwdriver and pulling up with a pair of pliers, then hand sanded over those marks, used acetone to scrub the entire floor and then wood soap to remove the acetone. Dried thoroughly. You can just put down several coats of tung oil (buffing between each dried coat) or a thin tinted varnish. Has an authentic patina look.
