Hi Miles

Really late reply I know but its easy to miss these questions sometimes :)

These are straight from the factory in Italy I'm afraid but you can find similar at the Natural Wood Flooring Company if you are local to Fulham or there are some great options at Ecora

Warmest regards, Anastasia

Georgina, you are most welcome. Yes, I saw that you said in your initial query that you had lacquered them and did not want to sand it all back, hence my suggestion for the least messy option (otherwise yes would be better to sand it all back etc etc like others have said but let's be practical not perfectionists). Yes a tinted lacquer, yes I'm sure you can buy it, I've mixed it myself but best to just buy one but beware not to go too far the other way and take tiny steps. Paint a bit that's going to be under a desk etc and leave it for days to dry and look at it in different light etc. It's not ideal, but I suggest you use the same clear lacqer and add a tiny bit of tinted one because you are painting on a darker colour already so experiment with small amounts of each, keeping track of how much you have put in. (I mix my own wall colours so have just learnt to give it a go in small portions). You also mention wanting a black and white rug, these colours will clash with the wood (colour theory) and make it look even more orange so best to use a colour that tones more. It's hard to tell the exact colour from the photos but go with warmer deeper colours which will then tone down the orange rather than clash with it and make it look cheap and more orange. So if you want to go dark then a rich chocolate brown with some creams, khaki and even a bit of burnt orange for example will make the orange in the floorboards recede.

You don't state if you are planning to keep the existing worktop and tiles. If these are to remain I would consider replacing Welvet with Strong White ( this works really well in a smaller spaces with dark worktops) for the ceilings and woodwork, use the Ammonite on the walls with Oval Room Blue on the cupboards and Worsted on the floor. Or if you prefer a more versatile more neutral approach which allows you to change accent colours without a major rework you could paint the floor using F&B Railings ( or use a similar colour stain to show the wood grain through which would add some interest) and paint the cupboards either Cornforth white or Purbeck stone. I would carry the colour scheme through into the hallway where the coats hang to avoid drawing the eyes to this area.

What to do with hearthstone when polishing/staining old floorboards?

I moved into my Victorian home six months ago and am redecorating all of the rooms. They are in different states but mostly pretty good condition. At some point over the last century the dining room has had the entire fireplace and chimney breast removed. I discovered this when the walls were stripped and re-wallpapered over the weekend. My next job is to get the floors sanded and varnished. Yesterday I peeled back the (hideous) carpet and discovered a large concrete slab, presumably where the old hearthstone used to be (or the hearthstone itself? I have no idea). My friend suggested tiling over it, which I'm not opposed to in theory. My problem is that not only is the hearthstone itself 50cm deep, but since the chimney breast no longer exists, it's a further 40cm away from where the wall now is (with well-fitted stumpy bits of wood in between the wall and the back of the concrete). So that's almost a metre out, in a room which is only 2.8m wide anyway and which I am using as a dining room - i.e. the table in the centre of the room, so the hearthstone will be right underneath the chairs, and the edges would be a trip hazard. It wouldn't really matter in any other room since the furniture could be rearranged to accommodate it. But in a dining room, raising it in any way (i.e. tiling) simply isn't practical. Has this completely scuppered my plans to sand down the floorboards? Will I need to shell out for new wooden flooring that covers the entire floor? Or is there some way of removing this slab and its stubby surrounds, and filling the gap with reclaimed floorboards, without causing irreparable damage to the house? There is a bit of chipboard in place of some floorboards but only in one corner. The remainder are, I believe, the original floorboards from 1876. I'm very open to creative suggestions, but whatever happens, I refuse to have carpet in the dining room. The hearthstone is under the carpet on the left of this photo.

I agree, it will give a clean edge from the carpet to the floorboards.
