I have Trafficmaster Allure in my hallway and both bathrooms, the baths are a lighter color. We will be extending the darker one into the kitchen in the near future, and I can't wait! They are a plank laminate, 1'x3' long, also a floating floor, and my husband had no problem putting them in. We installed the downstairs bathroom right over the old vinyl, no need to rip up the old floor either. They feel like tile, they're even cold with bare feet, look like tile, and are so easy to clean. We've not had any problems with lifting or peeling either. Hope I could help you.....

boopadaboo, Thanks, but I don't think I have a flair for colour. It is always so painful when I have to think of what colour to paint next. Usually after I have painted, I am already thinking of the next time and colour to paint. Soshh, I really like that battleship gray. I did try gray on one wall but it looked so blue. I already bought gallons of paint in the "Night Owl", "Purple Martin" and I think I might even have a gallon of "Flock of Ducks" but I do like that gray. marti, I don't paint trim, that, I have to dust.I find that when you paint with dark colours, the dust shows up very quickly. I think it is because I am always mopping the walls, that I get tired of the paint colour fast and I get bored real fast or I just like to paint.lol

I want to thank everyone for their beautiful pictures. I picked up my tile and now I have to choose the grout. In my lighting the tiles are a little more gray than at my neighbor's with their lighting but I know once I pick out a grout, they will look nice after seeing all your beautiful kitchens. Willtv, I love your dramatic large gorgeous dark tiles that are perfect for your black and white kitchen and the grout color is a very good choice. Cherigw, your Spanish tile is looks nice with the diagonal smaller tile in the middle of four tiles every so often. Honeychurch, I love your tiles with their beautiful coloring and the neutral gray grout colors goes so nice with your tiles. Shar-az, I love your tiles and thanks for letting me know they are 20" X 20" with a 1/8th grout line that is perfect for those tiles. I love the color of your grout also. Katsmah,I love your tiles and the pattern you chose so much with that perfect color Beach grout. That is the pattern that I wanted to do on my floor initially until I saw these discontinued tiles and decided they were nice and I would use them and live without the pattern since my kitchen is so small. KayceeFL, Your tiles look great with your stainless steel appliances and the color grout goes nicely. Daicey, I really love the layout of your tiles and the coloring with such a perfect match with the grout. It is making me feel happier since my tiles ended up being a little more gray than I wanted due to the lighting in my kitchen but seeing your tiles, I see that gray can be beautiful. I have not yet chosen the grout for my tiles or decided if they will stay lined up square or with a different pattern so if anyone has any other pictures to share, that will be welcomed. Thank you again. I am glad I went with the rectified tile this time, since I am not great at cleaning so for me the thinner grout line will be better. The installer I was going to use, I may hire him to do other projects in my home since he does a great job installing closets. His reply in email today for the store to help me out with the grout and thinset since he hasn't done too many tile jobs has me wanting to interview some installers and see what they think between a 1/16th or a 1/18th grout line. The tiles I have in my foyer have the fancier edge so I have a 3/16th grout line there but for my kitchen, I want slimmer since I feel rectified tiles in the 18 X 18 size will look nice in a skinny grout line. Thank you again! More pictures are always welcome.
