I am tearing up the carpet in our new house because I pulled up a corner and found BEAUTIFUL wood underneath Since I am doing it solo and don't have anywhere else to move the furniture, I have been working on it in sections, removing the carpet tacking, then moving the furniture, roll the carpet more, etc. So I get to the center of the room and I find this:

Since I've pulled up all the tacking rolling the carpet back out is not an option... besides, I hate carpet so much I'd rather live with this ugly mess than leave the carpet. BUT I would love to get an idea as to how to hide this. My only idea is to get a really narrow board with rounded edges to nail over it... but the widest part is like 8 inches wide, so that would have to be a big board. Plus I have no clue what kind of wood this is, so I wouldn't even know how to match it. At least it's at a natural transition between the living and dining areas and correlates with a similar divide in the ceiling (and if I knew what I was doing I would have expected it, as I was pretty sure that's where the house had been added to in the past.

At least both sides of that mess match!

Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice!

Image links don't work for me.
