Different woods in adjoining
rooms?

Q. I installed tounge-in-groove hardwood
floors in my kitchen and hallways a few years ago, finishing
it with polyurethane. Now we are trying to replace the carpet
in our living room and want to use wood. I did my bedroom
in laminate and I think I would rather do this than the hardwork
of hardwood. This flooring will not match the kitchen. Does
anyone else have experience with 2 different woods in adjoining
rooms?
A: You could put a border in the kitchen area and
use a contrasting wood in the living area. The border across
the opening identifies where the kitchen starts. There are
however prefinished woods you can buy that will save the sanding
and finishing of hardwood.
