We debated on the floors for some time. We loved our old fir, couldn't imagine anything else in the house. But fir is so soft, what about future dogs or cats or kids or chronic furniture re-arrangers?? So we considered oak, which looks lovely in
my brother's house. We went to
ecohaus, to see examples of "green" options. But we just couldn't get our mind off of fir - it's everywhere in our house. Hammer & Hand came through with the perfect alternative:
old fir. Old fir bleachers, to be exact. They have a warehouse full of them, waiting to be converted into thick, sturdy, plank fir flooring. This old fir is harder than the younger trees cultivated these days, and re-uses something that it still perfectly good. And it is turning out gorgeous. Best of all, we can't see our basement through the cracks in our bare wood floor anymore. And we have subflooring now - thanks, original wood floor, you are again useful!
