You can also ask for a herringbone pattern with planks of wood, that really draw one's attention. Finished off with hard-wax, they create a great new look.
Real old oak that has been retreated and smartened up continues to draw interest. However, as more and more of it is reclaimed, supplies will start to fail. This kind of flooring really brings back the Southern charm of the twenties and thirties.
