The 3rd owners put green linoleum all over the kitchen. We couldn't save those floors. Every other room we restored our oak.floors. Third floor bathroom had the same linoleum. We were able to find planks from.a house destruction from the same era with a very dark stain we couldn't sand out. So one plank honey one plan dark in the bathroom - its gorgeous.

Kitchen dark bamboo with French blues. 3 different blue tones same family in this room.

I feel like I've found a tribe on this thread.
