Queen Anne
Queen Anne house with planked area (Where rug used to be), how do I finish this area?
HI. I have an 1886 Queen Anne. It is a historical home, and, has beautiful parquet floors using 6 woods throughout. The problem is this: When I pulled up the carpeting in the living area, there is the beautiful parquet wood around the outer 24″ of the room. On the inside of this, are 8″ – 10″ (varying) wide planks that go the length of the room, and, are shaped around a bay window. There are cracks between the boards- some are perhaps 1/4″ or more. I was told that this part of the floor wasn’t finished because carpeting would have been placed there as an “exhibit” since carpeting was very expensive then. My question is this: I don’t want carpeting there. I have 4 small children and have a hard enough time with it like this. I need to know what to do with it. I am considering painting it, but, what do I do about the cracks between? Could it be refinished? Or just painted brown? Has anyone dealt with this before? Thanks.
what you could use is some wood puddy that is a simular color to the wood floor to fill all the cracks and gaps. then to make it look better you could sand it then stain it to a cherry wood, golden oak, light or dark oak then once it is stained you could brush on a clear protective coat that adds a shine and gloss to the wood. or go over the wood with all new wood or take out the wood and redo it to look like it was or go with something new like a floating wood floor.
