Yeah I appreciate the craftsmanship but this is too much, probably would have looked good on just the stairs and something to balance it out on the floor that’s not so visually assaulting.
They should have laid in some other hard wood between the slabs like what they did on the stairs. This just looks messy. That would have accentuated the wood without making it a visual mess.
Is this photoshopped? The ‘live edge’ bark showing in the floor and stairs wouldn’t be appropriate for use in floors/stairs as that part would be too soft and wear quickly. Not to mention the amount of movement it would allow.
I had a neighbor who was obsessed with live edging. He put down floors similar to this but wanting to save some money he had his nephew or whatever install them. Thing is, if they arent treated right and aren’t cut exactly so, the live edge is prone to a lot more wear than the inside hard wood. His floors looked great for about a year but then the “bark” started breaking down and every time he ran a broom over it, he’d sweep out more and more and there were pits everywhere and it looked ragged.
ok... but why did they leave the bark? they scribed around bark? weird kinda shitty flex. took 50x longer to scribe and will be weak cause they didn't wanna ruin "the natural look".. maybe they just doused the whole thing with a 1/4'' of epoxy.. still..wtf.
I love black walnut. And I love live edge black walnut. And I love figured black walnut. But that is horrendous. It would have looked great without the sapwood, but as it is.... simply horrendous.
I honestly thought this was in
Same. I do like me some bacon but not as flooring
Thanks for explaining why I liked and hated this simultaneously
Yo dawg, we heard you like wood, so we put some wood in your wood!!!
Thank you for introducing me to yet another Reddit rabbit hole
I think this would be good for like a ski cabin, but not an everyday house.
Bump
The stairs are decent, the flooring is just too much
I would feel very bad about replacing it all or covering it with carpet, but I would have to. It's just way too much visual noise and contrast.
Agreed. This is definitely
My thought was that one or the other would have been fine, but both together is too much.
The stairs are ok until you have to replace a step.
Yeah I appreciate the craftsmanship but this is too much, probably would have looked good on just the stairs and something to balance it out on the floor that’s not so visually assaulting.
My eyes! I would paint that.
Yep, I’ll go on the record as well to say that this looks like shit.
In theory, using the entire tree cross section, bark and all, is a great idea and brings a lot of detail that is hard to impossible to mimic.
They should have laid in some other hard wood between the slabs like what they did on the stairs. This just looks messy. That would have accentuated the wood without making it a visual mess.
Even the stairs are bad. It looks like someone shit then dragged their muddy ass down the stairs.
Looks like giant bacon
It looks like bacon. I love bacon but that floor looks terrible.
Kevin Bacons house.
Bacon strip house yummy
Kevin's bacon house
my exact thoughts
Dang it! I was getting a headache from looking at the picture and now I’m hungry for breakfast.
Oddly satisfying my ass it’s horrendous
Glad I am not the only one thinking that. This is ugly as fuck.
Oddly satisfying. My ass!! It's horrendous.
This is not satisfying at all.
I hate this. Decorative nightmare. Way too many wood colours and textures in one space.
I had to double check the sub because to me this is disturbing, not at all satisfying.
Least satisfying is how it changes to a completely different but still wooden floor over by the door.
It looks like someone making their first video game and they just applied a wood image texture to all of the floor without regard to scale.
That is awful.
Im sorry i just hate it
Feels like I'm tripping on LSD
Very beautiful wood, very well done. But I hate it
ATBGE
Like someone cut up a tree with a potato peeler
That looks awful
That is ugly as shit
All I see is well cooked bacon
ATBGE
Exactly! Came here to up vote one comment and here it is
uh, no?
This is a disgusting waste of beautiful wood
I can’t help but imagine all the beautiful things that floor wood could’ve been used for. Waste indeed.
Abominable.
No.
Stairs or floor. Pick one.
Neither
Floor
Is this photoshopped? The ‘live edge’ bark showing in the floor and stairs wouldn’t be appropriate for use in floors/stairs as that part would be too soft and wear quickly. Not to mention the amount of movement it would allow.
Or it is just an ugly laminate surface.
I've always wanted bacon floors
Someone either spent a lot of time and effort putting veneer on those stairs, or it's photoshopped. Either way, I don't care for it.
Terrible I hate this
Imo. It looks horrible
You barely notice the blood trace after dragging a corpse!
Or the dog scootch.
Id put some rugs down asap
Sorry, but just the picture is giving me a headache. I couldn't imagine living there.
It’s too much
Not tastefully done at all
oh no
are you some kind of sociopath
Lol
The stairs look great! The floor gives me anxiety.
Thanks, I hate it
Looks horrible.
No.
Love the stairs, hate the floor.
Ugly af.
Very ugly though
Hate it. No. Just no.
Fugly
Mmmm bacon 🤤
Somebody was drunk.
I can hear this picture.
Too much
This is quite the opposite of satisfying. Why would anyone do this?
That’s probably expensive af unless it’s laminate and doesn’t look good at all. Hard pass.
Ive seen alot of floors in my days and i have to tell you this is one of the worst design ideas ever. 🤦🏽♂️
Eww
This makes me so uncomfortable.
lol i thought it was posted on
I hate it.
This is too much.
This….is satisfying? It hurts my eyes!
Ew, nope, makes me uncomfy
It looks like bacon. And not in a good way!
I felt overwhelmed with the textures
I do not like it. Looks like giant poop stains.
That's the worst looking ridiculously expensive floor I've ever seen.
Cool in theory but fucking hideous in reality.
Nope. Too much going on for me, appreciate the effort though.
Damn that's hideous
This is one of those ideas that look good in your head but then when it comes to seeing it in real life its like..oh fuck that's fucking awful.
thats ugly as sin, way to overdone.
That is amazing
Well fuck me, I think I like it.
Personally, I love it!
...I love it. Genuinely. But I wouldn't have taupe walls with this, this needs some sort of fairy house, witch's forest trinket maximalism going on.
Those stairs are a major hazard for anyone with bad eyesight.
Amazing! But Ugly.
Am I the only one who loves it?
The flooring is very unique.
I hate it so much
Tell me you have your own mill, without telling me you have your own mill.
Looks like the inside of a cedar chest. Giant Kia Soul hamsters live here.
Kind of makes my eyes water. Messes with the vanishing points or something
Massively garish.
Safe to say it’s one of a kind
forbiddenbacon
I love bacon
At first I thought it was a bunch of kids dripping chocolate syrup along the floors:)
Minecraft be like
I love walnut but fuck this. Aside from the stairs.

Nice but too busy. Persian area rugs would look awesome on the this floor.
R/commonlyhideous
Dog with diarrhea trying to wipe
I love black walnut. And I love live edge black walnut. And I love figured black walnut. But that is horrendous. It would have looked great without the sapwood, but as it is.... simply horrendous.
Speaking as a man who has eyeballs, I wish I didn't.
Honestly, its all the other wood accents. There isn't enough contrast.
Did they...leave the bark on?
This isn’t satisfying; this is an assault on my eyes and will haunt my dreams.
Looks like food
That is ugly af
I don't know what that is, but it isn't wood flooring. Paint or some kind of weird "wall paper but on the floor" kind of thing.
There is nothing satisfying about this, if anything it's just the opposite.
ATBGE
Someone had diarrhea down the stairs
This wood flooring is horrendous, not satisfying in the slightest.
I feel like the floor would look better if they had somehow gotten rid of the lighter part of the wood and just kept the dark strips
I can respect both the insane levels of carpentry talent to make this happen, as well as how horrendously ugly this is at the same time
That’s nice… now carpet over it
oddlyunsatisfying
It will be fine once the carpet goes down.
This is awful
This picture made me stop scrolling and audibly say “whoa”.
Imagine walking in on this after you’ve just had a hit of LSD
OP please show this comment section to the owner/builder of this abomination.
oddly dissatisfying
This shit ugly
Nice skills.
oddlysatisfying
Holy bookmatched stairs batman
If those a planks of real wood, that flooring would cost a fortune. That doesn’t look like an expensive house.
Fugly flooring
raiderofawesome
R/atbge
He just need to adjust the uv map
The most satisfying part is turning your back on that.
This is the ugliest thing I’ve seen in a while
One expensive floor sheesh
That ain’t no floor das a tree’s bark
The floor is bacon.
This is
This is very much unsatisfying
I hate it.
This is the ugliest flooring I have ever seen...damn.
“It’s BACOOOOOONNNNN”
Nah man, looks like the stairs threw up all over the floor
Hideous
visually overwhelming, hard no
This belongs in
Oddly fucking revolting.
This is the most horrifying floor i have ever seen. There is absolutely nothing satisfying about this if you have working eyes (and mine hardly work)
Looks like a bacon on a frying pan
You people are idiots. This is art.
I cannot imagine how long this would have taken to put together and finish.
gross
it looks like somebody took 7 shits on the floor and smeared it in one direction.
Needs some fried egg rugs to sell that bacon theme.
I really hope that when we make first contact with aliens, that they aren't some kind of super evolved tree-people.
This looks like somebody intentionally dragged a dead body that bleeds shit all through the house.
Mmmm bacon floor
Hideous but the stairs are satisfying.
This isn’t satisfying at all.. lol the quality of things being posted here has taken a nose dive ..
Dunno man, just looks like bacon everywhere.
I guess it’s just cool to hate on stuff, but if this were my house I’d be happy with this.
Looks like strips of bacon.
not to be that guy, but this is horrific.
fuck it looks like shit.
This is
