We went with bamboo flooring inspired by our neighbor, Thigee, who lives only across the road from us. To my recollection, I think she said that strand woven bamboo are the hardest amongst all of them. There should be some article somewhere in the net that supports this.
I initially wanted to mix with some carpets as, to me personally, it feels like a cosy bedroom.
Our choice of color for the bamboo is quite restricted as it needs to match up with the internal color that we already have. As most of our color accent is pretty much chocolate or dark chocolate or even some people called it mocha, then finding a color for the floor shouldn't be too hard.
Here is what we came up with:

Obviously this shouldn't be an issue if the floor are done before the hand over or you will have carpet or tiles to where the fridge supposed to go.
Next stop MOVING IN!

Your floors look lovely! What type of bamboo flooring is it i.e. colour and board type? And did you install it everywhere..? My boyfriend and I want timber flooring in our house too and are still undecided about what to choose.
Hi Pandorash8 thank you! sorry it took so long for me to respond as we have been busy moving in and just managed to get the internet working today!
The bamboo type as I recall is strand woven bamboo. it's supposed to be one of the hardest one. The color is mahogany. Yes we install it everywhere :)
So happy for you. Well we have waffle pods and steel and should have the concrete poured on Monday for our TriBeCa 36. Your flooring is beautiful.
looks lovely
Hello, I just found out your blog.
Congratulation for beautiful house and floor. You have made me thinking of bamboo floor.
Can I ask about your timber retaining wall. Are you happy with it and how much it cost and can you recommend retaining wall contractor?
Thanks a lot.
Hi Kiki,
Thank you for checking out my blog and your lovely comment.
I am quite happy with the work for the retaining wall. I wish it was on the boundary of the land but I was told that I cant have that as I got a sewer line running underneath.
The retaining wall comes as a package to the landscape job so I'm not sure specifically how much it cost.
Designer Green was the one that did the job. They have an office in Kellyville and they also have a website that you can find out more info.
Hope this helps.
Flooring looks stunning, I think we picked a similar colour so seeing your photos has me really excited for what's to come!
