Any one out there have new wooden floor laid and cant take their eyes off......

[NotAnOtter]

ONE PLANK!!!!!!!

staring at me from a sea of others

totally ruining the entire floor and making me unable to pull my eyes away from it to look at the rest of the floor

please say I am not alone

dp and I are barely speaking.....

well, i'm sure you'll get used to it.

we had some laminate layed as part of another job. and the guy put it across the room, vs down the room.
Dh and i both felt it was wrong and got it changed.

Not sure how long it will take for you to forget it- but oyu do need to you know

thanks oops....

still barely speaking

what is wrong with it?

darker than the rest

knot free which is what i was initially stressing about

oh i would unclick it all then and change the one plank

Let it get dusty - you'll never notice it!

Our guy put ours down and I made him put all the 'imperfect' ones under where the couches were going - he did - bar 1 and like you it caught my eye.

Now it's so covered in dog hair these days - I never notice.

Are you doing a rug? coffee table that you could place strategically?

or make the rest of the room so wow - that it takes your eye away.

oh god nappies!

I have suggested this and been told a resounding 'no' as it is fairly central with a fair bit of floor this side of it

floor is tongue and groove and nailed together

in that case ignore it - ignore it and soon you will be looking for it rather than it looking for you - enjoy your new floor

what a lovely solution nappy

( adopts it as new mantra!!!)

yeah, get a hobby!

NAO, was it you who ended up with an orange pine floor in a bedroom or was that someone else?

YES!!! It was me soupy i feel doomed

the builders obviously think i am odd- they laugh it off in a kind of 'silly blonde' way whilst I am upstairs fretting

life is too short

get a grip Otter

Thought so! You don't have much luck with wooden floors - have you considered carpet??

feeling marginally better

floor being sanded and finished tomorrow so i am starting o panic again but seem to have gained some (unususal) perspective on the matter!
