I like it.

I wonder if the wood is suppose to be heart pine. I suspect it might be salvaged 6" pine sub-wall type boards.... it looks just like my bedroom & great room flooring.... but that flooring has no nail hole type defects. To me, the grain is too wide for heart pine. It doesn't look like old tight-grained heart pine. Also, good tight-grained heart pine is usually not 6" wide, as I know it..... it's either 2", 3" 4" wide or very wide (and thick) planks, though we can't tell the thickness in the pics.

Good old heart pine would be more red in color, also, I think.

I see one edge, against the right wall, is perpendicular to the central boards. That's a neat edging feature, but that feature makes it look a little too busy, maybe. There's enough busyness in the different board's grain (and furniture), so that edging is a little too much, maybe.

That space needs an old thick real heart pine table, not the one that's there!

also interesing to see where some flooring is perpindicular to the entrances and some is parallel
for a long entry the perpendicular looks better to my eye

The main link, for those other floors, would have helped. Those comments were a little confusing, at first.

After looking further, your original link floor doesn't look like their own "recovered heart pine" labeled flooring. It looks like their Old Florida.. The Old Florida looks like my salvaged subwall pine boards, now my flooring.

I suppose it depends on who defines the lumber... to a possible unknowing customer.
