5. The wainscoting is stained to match the existing stained wood work.

It blends in nicely and face lifted the place , Upstairs I decided not to refinish the floors,we don,t like carpet.So I put in a floating floor. Those floating floors have come a long way since pergo came out in the 80's. I elected against bamboo because the climate here isn't conducive really for that particular material. There are so many different brand names to choose from on those floating floors, thats what I call that, - you can always find a good deal on flooring if you look around.

The floors upstairs actually stay warm in the winter months ,so that came in as a plus. So on your floor I am suggesting you put down some new stuff in the area or areas you want to accent the most. Otherwise short of refinishing those floors carpet is the other way . The floating floor installs right over the top of the existing flooring. The stuff snaps together so there is no nailing.

And it goes in fairly quickly.
