opinions on vinyl flooring
Comments (4)if you search on p 1 of flooring in the search box on the lower right side of page you should find some posts on Adura and Armstrong - don't know about the other one. I'm putting down some sheet vinyl in a few rooms - including baths and laundry. there's some really nice vinyl out these days - don't let others opinions on it scare ya away from it....See Morereally need some advice on flooring for home we're buying! pics!
Comments (15)Thanks for all the replies and suggestions, all are appreciated!!!! I guess I'll have to find some flooring I like and hopefully, be able to get some samples, take them to the house and put them down in different areas of the house and see how they look, esp. against the base of the fireplace. I don't mind the parquet and it may look better once it's cleaned or refinished, but do I think it really looks good, not really. While I think it's okay in the entry, I just don't like how it looks in the area surrounding the base of the bricks. Any suggestions on what may look good against the brick?? Or, should I possibly consider some of the resilient tiles that look like slate in a color that would go with the brick? Would something like that complement?? Maybe a light color tile just in the entry, wood elsewhere? Any other suggestions?...See MoreNY Times Opinion piece re: kitchen trends
Comments (12)The apartments in question are 8 figures. That is $10M. The kitchen they are talking about is larger than many peoples entire apartments in Manhattan. (I know a couple whose bedroom was 6 x 13. A full sized bed did not really fit so the bed was in the LR.) The idea of an open kitchen like this is still unusual in NY, even loft spaces tend to have smallish kitchens. As for the appearance of the kitchen, in its context, its fine: it would not look particularly good in a colonial revival in Iowa, but neither would a country kitchen look particularly appropriate in a semi sky scraper. There is a skyscraper in my city (1980s post mod deco) that had the upper storeys--40th floor and up--converted to condos in the 7-8 figure price range and I am sorry but the apt. tricked out with the traditional kitchen when the LR wall was all glass and 500 feet up looked ridiculous. That particular style of cabinetry was introduced about 1960 by Seimatic and some form of it has been in production since then. Thats fifty years, the look is semi-antique. So it has a market segment, just a very particular market segment. Its hardly sterile, its just minimal and most people are maximalists....See MoreNeed advice for new oak flooring for kitchen
Comments (6)If this was one of my projects Id specific that the old floor be torn up and new wood floor with a factory finish in your preference color and finish to be installed. the kitchen is a concern to have a full wood type situation ... but if you do at least take a look at potential bamboo flooring with a nice stain that would match your existing floors... if that doesn't sound interesting then I would proceed with the new floor with the manufacture you are referring to Mirage.
