A lack of willpower

I know I said I wasn't going to post any photos until the room was done, but this is how I am. We're happy with the floors, and even though I think the doors/casing/base moulding are only going to crisp things up I couldn't wait.

Northwest corner looking east:
Just inside the hallway door looking west:
Close-up in front of the (still unfinished) window seat:
This last picture is most representative of the color, a charcoally off-black. Darker than what we originally had in mind, we're totally fine with going deeper. Most of our walls will be on the paler side to keep things light, and I think the darker floors will provide some needed contrast and ground the spaces. We'll use rugs throughout the house and I think the color will also help define spaces, especially in the more open areas of the house. More to come (hopefully) soon.

An interesting color and will look good with pale walls and the rugs will really (to use the over used term) -- pop!!

Can't wait to see the room finished and with furniture inside!

OMG they look fabulous! seroiusly. You can't go too dark in my opinion -especially with light colored walls. Delicious!

I'm glad you didn't wait - they look terrific. And I am totally stealing the term design delirium.

Perfect David and the trim will really make the floor color pop! Great job!

Looking good. Are you using a sisal or seagrass? Can't wait to see the results.
