^ flooring for kitchen?

[heyrebekah]

I would continue it into the kitchen, but not in the half bath.

We continued wood into the kitchen and have been really happy with it. The only thing to consider in the bathroom is whether the toilet tends to sweat. If it does, you'll get a discolored ring around it on the floor. Otherwise, I'd go for it in the bathroom, too.

If you are set against hardwood (which I like), you might look into pergo tiles. We had this in our kitchen before we remodeled (and put tile that is way too hard) and it was pretty forgiving, but definitely looked nicer than vinyl.

But is there a reason you don't want hardwood in your kitchen? My mom put wood in her kitchen and as long as you don't have puddles of water sitting around, she hasn't had a problem.

I would continue the flooring into the kitchen but find something else for the bathroom.

hardwoods in both or hardwood to the bathroom and then vinyl

We're doing this laminate in our kitchen and dining room and then probably tiling the bathroom once we get around to doing that because they are tiny.

wood in both. it's a half bath. if anything in there leaks that badly, any floor will be f'ed/have to be taken up. otherwise, you shouldn't have much moisture in there. people are flushing and washing their hands only.

I would stick to hardwood in kitchen. For the bathrooms, I would suggest the tile that looks just like wood. www.southcypress.com/Design-Gallery/Wood-Tile-Idea-Gallery

Our living room, dining room, kitchen and 1/2 bath are all bamboo. I'm not sure where a good transition point would have been. We've been really happy with the upkeep of it.

Yes, I would continue the wood.

This is what I would do.

I have hardwood floors in my kitchen in my condo. They are beautiful. I would probably do some other flooring in the half bath, though.

[boiler717]

I would do hardwoods in both the kitchen and half bath.

I would ruin wood floors in my kitchen within a week. I LOVE how it looks, I just think I'd kill them because I can't keep the tile floors clean to save my life.

If you are a freakishly neat person whose house looks like a model home at all times - go for it. But if you're clumsy enough that you're breaking stuff all the time, I'm guessing there's some splashing and slopping going on too.

I would continue it in both rooms.

I would do hardwood in both rooms. I wouldn't do hardwood in a full bath but in a 1/2 bath it should be fine.
