Hardwood flooring is a popular flooring option across the country but especially in Georgia. Wood flooring is a great investment, appeals to almost all home buyers and is a timeless option. Over the last few years hardwood has grown even more popular with hardwoods being installed in all rooms of homes instead of just in common spaces. Two of the most common wood species used are White Oak and Red Oak. While the names sound like the only difference is the color there are actually lots of differences, some of which need a trained eye to see.

Many people assume red oak is a red hued wood and that white oak is a white hued wood but there is a lot more to the different species than just a different hue. Red oak does have a pinkish undertone and when unstained the pink can help you identify this species. Stains often cover these pink or red tones. If you leave red oak unstained you will see some of the red undertone under the stain, the red undertone is not overwhelmingly red and gives the wood a nice warmth. White oak is darker than red oak. The undertones of white oak are brown and yellow. 

The two species have unique grain patterns that help people identify the woods. Many experts use grain patterns to help them identify stained woods because the woods tones and colors cannot be relied on. Red oak has a strong grain pattern and is a more porous wood than white oak. The grains in red oak are very prominent while white oak has a smoother grain pattern. The grains in white oak are finer and less pronounced. White oak is a denser wood and has a higher janka scale rating. The Janka scale measures the hardness of wood- red oak is 1290 and white oak is 1360. The grain pattern in red oak does help hide scratches and dents.

It has been chilly here in North Georgia this week! I’m really getting excited about all the beautiful fall fashions. I just purchased these fall-themed corduroy pants today–caught them on sale.

I love, love, love the embroidered autumn leaves and acorns! Sooo dang cute! You’ll find them currently on sale here: Corduroy Pants for Fall.

During the winter, I wear a lot of corduroy pants because I find them so much warmer than regular jeans. Today, I thought I’d share a few outfits I’ve put together with two pairs of corduroy pants I just purchased a couple of weeks ago. When I purchased them, I bought them in two of my favorite colors for fall, a warm, rich brown and a winter white/cream color. There are so many ways to wear corduroy pants in these two colors.
