Nightingale Floor

I think Home Depot has control of my mind and that is why I wrote today’s Daily Dose 100 word story entitled Nightingale Floor, Enjoy!

Nightingale Floor

Some years ago while reading architectural digest I saw reference to nightingale floors, but no accompanying definition and promptly forgot about it.

Later while laying the wood floors in our mountain cabin I was amazed to find that the boards had unique and nuanced sounds as they rubbed against each other.

With a bit of ingenuity in fastening the wood you can create a magical ongoing conversation with the house.

Going room to room at times seems like dancing on a xylophone.

You skate from board to board creating warm enticing tones that will resonate in your memory forever.
