I got the wrong floors. Please talk me off the ledge
I ordered the wrong floors. I had no idea until I got home from work yesterday and they were more than halfway done installing them
I wanted plank (3 1/4 wide) and got strip (2 1/4 wide). I obsessed for so long about the color that I forgot to ensure I was getting the width I wanted. On the plus side, I love the color. I am so upset with myself for not asking about the width though. I had no idea it was going to be 2 1/4. I have to live with it now. So much time and money and I am not thrilled with it. Please get me through this.

I agree with Lisa. I am sure they are gorgeous!
I couldn't even tell you the width of our floorboards.
Post pics when you can!

Re: I got the wrong floors. Please talk me off the ledge
awww.that really stinks.
But I'm sure your brand new floor will look great. It's new, it's the right color and you're going to have furniture on it and I'm sure you will get to really like it afterall.
So frustrating.

It's a plus that you love the color. I'm sure when they are done and you have furniture in, you will still love the floors because of their color.

Re: I got the wrong floors. Please talk me off the ledge
I keep telling myself it will be ok once the furniture is back in the room and that the color is more important than the size. It is just that they look more old fashioned to me and that is not the look of my house. I am just so disappointed. I waited so long for these floors. DH loves them which is good but he has more old fashioned type taste than I do. I am stuck with them now.
The first pic is what I got and the second is what I wanted (size, not color). I also just noticed the one I got is shiner. Argh... Image Attachment(s):

Aww, I'm sorry! This is something that would really bother me too. BUT the floors really are gorgeous! I think once the shock wears off, you will learn to like them.

Looks great! I bet you'll learn to love it after the shock of getting the wrong thing wears away.
Personally I think wide plank is old fashioned (albeit in a cool retro way). Your floors look very modern to me.

Sorry I honestly don't think this is something to stress over.
I think wood floors are beautiful no matter what width.
