The people who did this extension wanted that old world charm of secondhand Baltic Pine. With new Pine you get a much lighter look and it sometimes doesn't match as well as 2:nd hand does. I recomended them a place called Hughs Renovators Paradise where you can find everything from a doorhandle, fireplaces, doors to flooring. It's at 17 Frankling st Huntingdale in Melbourne. The flooring is usually more expensive than new becouse of its rarity.
The room has a beautiful country feel to it. The floors where coated with Bona Traffic Matt finish. Here are some before and after shots.
I love the look of that flooring! Older wood like this is much more beautiful to me than new wood. It has a more worn look that I like.
