Brazilian Walnut Pictures
We’ve reached then end of our hardwood flooring installation! We’re thrilled with the results and we hope you found our two weeks of tutorials helpful if you decide to tackle this job in your own home. We wanted to share some “after” pictures of the remodel with you as inspiration for your own hardwood job!
This is the final post in our series on how to install hardwood floors. Thanks for reading, and visit that link for all the information you need to install hardwood flooring in your own home!
Before we start, recall that back in December we started this remodel taking down walls in the first floor of our home. The result was a much more open space. We then hired a contractor to remove a section of a load bearing wall, remove an oddly-placed pantry, re-route plumbing, and install recessed lighting.
After the contractor finished, we started our Brazilian Walnut wood flooring project, installing 1100 square feet of beautiful flooring throughout the first floor. This completes about 1/2 of everything we want to do with this floor. The other half is the installation of a new kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Those are coming in late Summer and early Fall, with plenty of pictures to share.

Stay tuned for more “how-to” articles, stories, and pictures of the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room as they get reworked later in the year. Also, keep an eye out on Tuesday for the complete “How-To” round up on hardwood flooring where we tie together the last 2 weeks into a single article that you can bookmark for the future!

Make that: “your great collection of detailed….”
“You are” so much more than just these excellent blog posts.

I love this site. I am not very handy but I love to watch/learn from the pro’s.
My wife loves the color of your walls. What color is it and from what manufacturer?
Keep up the great work I enjoy learning.

Hey Bud, thanks for the compliments… We don’t consider ourselves “pros” but we have been at it for a good while. That color is Ralph Lauren’s Parchment – and it is our absolute favorite neutral tan color – goes with just about everything. Unfortunately, Home Depot stopped carrying RL paints, so you have to find an RL distributor to get that paint now. We LOVE RL paint – think its the best performance for the price out there. It’s still around, you just have to hunt for it.

Well done Fred.
I think I can see a space for bookcases on each side of the fireplace.

What type (brand) of Brazilian Walnut are in these pic’s and is it 3/4 or 7/16 thickness. BR-111 pic’s on their website show the same installed pic for each of these widths but the actual picyure & description of the product is much darker in the 3/4. Can anyone explain if there are significant differences in appearance in the 7/16 vs 3/4? Thx

Hi Mike, the BW shown in these pictures is 3-1/4″ wide, 3/4″ thick solid, Select Brazilian Walnut from Lumber Liquidators. Their 2-1/4″ wide product looks exactly the same except the boards are thinner (we have installed it in another home). You do have to be careful because not all BW products are created the same. We really like Brazilian Walnut.

Hi there,
I’ve been shopping around for hw for a few months now and my hubby and I were considering Brazilian Walnut. Our problem is that everyone is telling us that it will darken (which is fine, we want a darker wood) but one of the installers at LL told us it will lighten. I’m so confused!! Please tell me what your experience has been. The room that the hw will be in has a lot of sun coming through it.
Thanks, Lidia
