Find a good wood floor guy and trust what he wants to do.
I've also seen it done this way and it looked great. Was a lot of work, and as Singpilot explained it does mean refinishing the floors.

I don't think there is an easy way to do this, and if the floors are in great shape otherwise it may not be worthwhile. Part of the charm of an old house is the imperfections.

Probably better than what I started with:
