Eco-Chic: My New Vintage Wood Floors
Posted by Tori Spelling on Feb 2, 2012


From wardrobe to décor, my love affair with vintage runs deep. While I’ve always collected (aka hoarded) amazing flea market and estate sale finds, I’ve recently discovered a new obsession: vintage flooring.

We recently installed eco-chic, reclaimed wood floors from The Vintage Wood Floor Company in our new home, and I’m so happy with how they turned out. Here’s a glimpse (I’ll be blogging lots more about our new home, so stay tuned):

These vintage floors have character and a history all their own, having originally been part of an old farmhouse. They have scratches, personal carvings and other flaws that create a perfectly worn-in look. A major plus if you happen to have kids, dogs, pigs, goats and chickens running around! You're not only helping the environment by using reclaimed wood, but you’re also creating a vintage chic look… which will make you the envy of all décor mavens.

Have you ever considered vintage or reclaimed wood flooring in your home? Tell me what you think of my new floors in the comments below.

Love the floor!!!My grandparents used to live in a farmhouse that had the real wood floors that would creak when you walked! How I love and miss those floors!! It is truly hard to find those "real" wood floors!! AMAZING!! Reminds me of my childhood!!

Absolutely love the floors!!  I love reclaimed wood.  There is a church near us that was sold and they were selling pieces and we bought a pew.  It is roughly 100 years old.  They were also selling the floor but we didn't have a place to store it or install it.  It looked very similar to what Tori installed.

Loving these reclaimed wood floors!!!  That is a fantastic idea to both save resources and get a fabulous look!  This is an awesome idea for me to keep in mind when I get a house in the near future!!

Hi,

Greetings from North-Europe, Finland. We got snow today... that is what spring is here.. The wooden floors are beautiful, we have wooden floors too, but not vintage. Wooden floors are quite common here in Scandinavia.

Thank You for a very nice site. I watched one part of Tori and Dean and found Tori so symphatic that I had to check if she has a nice webside an I found this.

I use to remember Tori as Donna Martin from Beverly Hills :)

Your vintage floors are amazing. If the opportunity comes around I would definitely do this in my home. I love that the floors come with a history and the character of being a part of someone elses family.

Absolutely love the floors.  Can't wait to see more photos of the new house and how you have put your spin on it.
