I'm planning on putting down engineered hardwood flooring in my living room and tile in my kitchen and bathroom. A lot of people ask why I'm going with engineered hardwood floors & not real hardwood and here's the uncomplicated short answer. My condo is built on a concrete slab, in order to put down real hardwood floors on a concrete slab my contractor would have to build a wood sub floor which would inevitably increase the height of the flooring and cause problems with opening my front door. So the next best choice is engineered hardwood flooring.
I went to Lumber Liquidators yesterday & found exactly what I wanted!! Here's a picture of the flooring that I plan to buy! Sadly it out of stock until mid March, but that's alright!! I can get my kitchen & bath done in the mean time!

As I mentioned above, I will be putting tile kitchen & bath. Here are the two tiles that I've been debating about from my favorite (sarcasm) home improvement store Lowe's. **If I've never said this before, I hate Lowe's - long story.**
Which do you like better???

I have lament floors in my condo for the same reason but honestly, I love them. They're great. And they're well installed so they don't look cheap or fake.
