I like light wood floors.  So many are shying away from it these days to go for the dark or medium stains.  While those are beautiful, there is something charming, and so easy, about natural wood.

This dining room says it all.

And as a reminder, light wood floors are so much easier to care for too - you see way less dust and scratches on them!  Not to mention how your dark wood furniture, or in this case white furniture, looks amazing against it.
