A beautiful distressed look! A new trend with deep roots. Handscraped hardwood flooring is created by hand using wood scraping tools to give an old wood appearance. Loving all things "vintage", I was immediately drawn to these when picking out our new wood floors for the upstairs playroom and bedrooms. I am so happy with the way our new hardwoods turned out that I have to share! By not only using the distressed wood, but alternating the planks widths, it gives the rooms a whole new charming feel. The contrast of the creamy white walls and white moldings makes the floors more pronounced.
If you love the look of hardwood floors with a lot of character markings then you will love this look. In the US, the hand scraped wood look has become a popular choice among homeowners wanting the warmth of hardwood with the look of an old reclaimed floor but with todays finest finishes. Although more expensive, these floors do look stunning and give the appearance of a hardwood floor with a lot of character.
These floors are a newer trend but are rooted in history. Before today’s modern sanding methods, floors were hand scraped on site to make the floors flat. Today’s hand scraping is done to add texture, richness and unique characteristics.

Your home is just gorgeous. So different than the typical boring out of a catalogue look.
