Floors Galore

Our Kitchen has a lot of updating that needs to be done. However the one thing I want to talk about today is the floors in this room, the bathroom and the laundry/dining room. Here's what they look like now.




Kitchen

Scuffed Surface

Back Room

First off I just plain don't like the kitchen and bathroom floors. Second, they have big gaps in the linoleum and third, the finish is wearing off in some places. The laundry room floors got destroyed by a puppy and since they were in terrible shape we also painted in there and they're really not pretty now. Enough said. So I spent the better part of my life on Monday checking out my options of peel and stick tile. I 'm pretty sure we're going to go with this option because

1. It's super easy and we have no tile laying experience.
2. It will adjust to the uneven floors of our old house well.
3. There's a huge variety to choose from.
4. It's inexpensive.

See that little #3 up there? That is proving to be a tad bit of a problem. I can't make up my mind! First off I wanted to go with the Lowe's ebony tiles that I saw in this laundry room. I really like the look of them and they're super affordable ringing in at $.88 a square foot.



Unfortunately there were a ton of reviews saying that after they had been in for about two months the finish gets hazy in high traffic areas. I know, insert let down music here. We are in the kitchen a lot and the tiles will have to hold up to the dog's nails. So even though it was love at first sight. Ebony tiles were a no go.

So here are the contenders and their prices.

$1.39

$1.69

$1.39



$.88




$1.69



I am completely torn. I would like something darker so it doesn't look dirty all the time, but I like the look of all of them. Then there's also all the different prices to consider. I'm at a loss at this moment. Here are a few more pics of the kitchen now.

And my inspiration pic.

 HELP!!! What do you guys think? Should I save money and go with the cheapest? Which one do think would look best with the white cabinets, Oil Rubbed Bronze and coutertops, without being too matchy? I'm so ready to tear out the floors it is killing me.

Well while we all stew on all that information I hope you guys have a great weekend! I'll be working on a little project with a Flip cam for Monday's post! Stay tuned!!
