Pam J, some color through floorings (composites, bamboo & wood, can be buffed out after dings & such, our last house had solid wood in all rooms except our 40 x 17 kitchen great room, where we put solid commercial vinyl square tiles after a couple of other choices just didn't work out(the stuff that is in most stores, but we carefully chose 2 colors that were very marbley looking & checker boarded them, not too industrial looking, you have to top coat with wax or acrylic, but that is another layer of protection too.)
We have chosen to do our house here in porcelein tiles that have a rustic terrazzo look (Montago from Home Depot) mainly because in was available, durable, we were covering a slab that was hard anyhow, and it can get a little abused, and still look ok, since it already looks a little abused....odd way of thinking, but I really hate to ding a new surface, and yo know its going to happen...
Aloha, Carey
