i started a great thread about this back in early march if you can find it. I believe it was under "laminated wood". Anyhow, we were leaning toward laminated wood or ceramic tile. For all the reasons that people brought out in that thread about the real wood and laminated wood buckling and the price of the ceramic tile, I ended up with a VERY high quality linoleum/congoleum. It looks like dark cherry wood and is wonderful. I love it and planning on having my kitchen done the same way. My yorkies are in what used to be my formal living room so this is where I put it. The rest of my house except thee kitchen is carpeted. Another word about the ceramic tile, besides being very expensive to do a room of any size, it is very dangerous for your yorkiees if they jump off a table or chair or something. |
