So we are now hung on flooring. Our cabinets are getting measured tomorrow after work. So we need to make a decision on what to do with the floors.
We have found a wood tile at Lowe's that she loves, but I have read they have some inconsistency in color and sheen from lot to lot, so the option to tile the kitchen/nook now and do the rest later isn't a good one. I am also a bit concerned because it seems like a pretty slick tile and spills could get pretty dangerous.
The next option is to extend our laminate into the dining room and select a nice tile for the kitchen and utility area. This option has some catches. It leaves us with a transition strip across the width of the kitchen and if the cabinets aren't on the same plane from side to side, we will have a diagonal line across the kitchen with the transition strip.
The third option is to tile the kitchen and the nook the same.
Of course we can always just make repairs and leave the same tile down until a later date, but we are afraid with the baby on the way, it is now or never.
Our color scheme is going to be white cabinets, counter tops are kind of a cream color, back splash will be white beveled subway tiles, and the walls will be a medium gray color. The wall color will be primarily seen in the dining room. We REALLY like the look of dark hardwoods with the white cabinets and splash.
I am leaning more towards a nice tile through the utility/kitchen/nook and doing the wood floors elsewhere at a later date. We can tie the tile in to the rest of the house by tiling the entry with the same tile. I need to surf through houzz for some ideas and color options for flooring.
