First, you want to start with "live sawn" white oak.  Purchase the grade with the most character possible. This will give you all the knot holes, worm holes  and dark streaks needed. Remember, you're going for rustic, so accept all flaws. The more character, the merrier.

Second, purchase wide plank flooring. Start at 5 inches and go up from there. Mix it up and use random width, which is a classic look for rustic floors. Click on the link, for installation instructions on random width plank flooring.

Third, after you have sanded the floor. Wire brush the oak flooring. Wire brushing will give it a distress look. It will dig out the soft wood from the oak flooring, leaving only the hardwood. And form a non-slip surface. It will wear down any sharp corners. It will also, allow grains of the oak flooring to stand out.

Fourth, lime wash your floors with either a gray or brown reactive stain. Lime washing will age the wood floors. And the tannins will react to the lime wash, giving you a wide variation in color. Certain types of wood species will not react to regular lime washing. Therefore, you will need to use a lime wash with high pigments. This is the case with red oak flooring.

Fifth, apply your color of choice, of hard wax oil. Start with white for the antique look. And adjust as needed. You can also, try the following colors oyster and natural.
