I really love the dark flooring but I think it would show dust and scratches too easily and it would close in a small room, so if we did do it, we would have to do it in a big room only, with light walls



Installed hardwood flooring generally runs $3 to $8 per square foot, depending on the variety of wood, but can find great deals on "recycled" wood for kitchens in salvage yards and neighborhood teardowns.
