Cyn, I and my boy friend bought a 60 year old house
that had pine wood floors in most rooms.
We added the same floors in all rooms when we renovated the house, and I haven't regretted it for a second.
The old floors that were there are beautiful!
Pine wood is very soft so if you drop a sharp object on it, you can get a scar. This scar is usually fixed by letting some hot water sit on it for a few minutes. The wood swells back and the floor will be as good as new.
