Dreamy hardwoods and more finishing touches (5/12 - 5/16/16)

OK, so I literally picked my hardwood floors from one, yes ONE, plank at the flooring showroom.  We had been looking at the level B hardwood that I had negotiated into our contract at no extra cost and don't get me wrong, I really liked some of the engineered level B choices, but then I saw it... that one lonely little plank of American Scrape 5" Oak in the color Nantucket and I knew I had to have it as soon as I laid eyes on it.  It had the grayish undertones that I loved about some of the level B color choices, but had the thickness, beauty, and random scraping of solid hand-scraped hardwood.

Now fast-forward to 5/11/16 (the day before install) - I panicked, like a serious all out sweating panic.  What if I hate them when I see them?  Can I live with floors I hate?  What will RH do for me if I hate them (nothing...)?  The images I saw online were not consistent and it scared the $@!* out of me!

Low and behold, my hardwood flooring is more beautiful than I could ever have imagined and these pictures do them no justice at all:
