Hardwood Floor: Tiete Rosewood

I’ve been shopping for hardwood floor since August. I love exotic wood and I think Bazillian Cherry is the best. Today, Matthew my sales rep came over with sample of Brazillian Cherry and other exotic wood. After checking around the house with the piece of Brazilian Cherry, I realized the inside of the house will look darker. Hubby already installed the Cherry cabinet from Home depot and the paint that we used for the wall in the open area (kitchen, dining and living room) is mustard. Installing the Brazilian Cherry will make the inside of the house darker. It’s probably okay if we get some sun light but the surroundings are full of trees and the house is set in the shade. I asked Matthew, our sales rep if he can recommend any other exotic wood that is lighter than Brazillian Cherry. He thought Tiete Rosewood is the perfect hardwood floor for us. He showed us the sample and he’s right. I just loved it. We ordered 2,100 sq ft of 5 inch x ¾ solid pre-finished Tiete Rosewood, 70 linear feet of 3 ½ solid ¾ stair nosing, 10 Tiete Rosewood flush mount floor vents, urethane moisture membrane, wood glue, nails, and paper for protection. I’m just glad; we finally made the purchase and got exactly what I am looking for (best wood floor and the best price in the market).
