If you're planning on putting a new floor down, you'll first need to remove the tile.

Those aren't oak cabinets.

Are you putting in wood floors or wood-look tile or something else?

Here in Florida tile is popular because it feels cool and "stands up" to water. The tile you have doesn't look bad to me and with a better wall color - I myself would prefer to spend the money on lighting, new cabinet hardware, artwork and rugs (splurge on a new integrated or cabinet depth fridge that doesn't show fingerprints so readily?) . The cabinets are lovely, as far as the wood type, I don't see much grain, so possibly maple or birch, if that matters.

Thank you Flo Mangan, The tile is old and one at least is broken, not sure if we can find a replacement tile. The broken one is by the door so possibly a contrasting row of tiles at entrance? I guess I will try to save the tile, reminded by Sonni 1 that the mess is probably not worth it, What about the 3 bedrooms then. I would expect carpeting is not the choice especially if being rented.

Master bedroom is carpeted and needs to be removed and something else put down. 2 other bedrooms have no flooring, whatever it was has already been pulled up. The tile that you see is everywhere else, I am not adverse to painting the cabinets but figured if I needed to replace floors, new cabinets would be out of the question. We will be renting it for a year or so and then deciding if we want to move in.

I feel like I have a practically blank slate but just don't know where or how to start. I love grays and whites, painters will be starting in 2 weeks, told them I am considering painting the cabinets. Maybe I don't need to do that either?

I don't know what kind of cabinets they are, was referring only to the color I guess. I know they aren't white. In my limited world, cabinets are either brown or white. ;)

Those cabinets are gorgeous (don't paint?). If you're renting the place out, I'd do as little as possible now, because who knows? Lots of rentals have carpet, because it's a fairly inexpensive flooring, but tile would work also I think.

Light gray gray walls with brown cabinets ok? Bathroom cabinets are same as kitchen

No don't have to have gray, would actually prefer something that will go with the brown cabinets and granite. What would you suggest, one color or two possibly I could choose from?

What kind of rules do you have about underlayment? Have you checked on that yet?

If you rip up the tile you'll have to replace that as well.

Another reason not to rip up the tile. Thank you!

I don't know about that. It totally depends on what the rules are where you are. I'm assuming this isn't a ground floor unit. If so, nevermind--not relevant.

No not ground floor. Plan right now is to leave tile in place, patch where we need to and use CoreTec flooring that has cork backing what will work for sound underlayment. https://coretecfloors.com/augustine-oak-vv022-00808/

I had one broken tile by my front door when I bought my house and was able to find replacement and swap it out. I would seek this solution, find a tile installer, and keep the floor. As others have mentioned, money better spent elsewhere such as decorations/rugs/paint/artwork. Your place is already very nice and in great shape.

As a landlord I would not make any changes prior to renting the unit. If and when you decide to move in, make changes for you at that time. Most tenants are notoriously hard on rentals. Put inexpensive carpet in the bedrooms. Repair the entry tile as best you can. Unless the walls are damaged I would not even paint. The colors as they stand now are neutral and very typical of the rental market unless you are in a very expensive part of Florida.

"If you're planning on putting a new floor down, you'll first need to remove the tile."

Not according to CoreTech's manufacturer:

1. "Ceramic Tile, resilient tile and sheet vinyl must be well-bonded to subfloor, in good condition, clean and level."

   You demo through a hollow concrete condo floor and you could face dire consequences.

Cheryl Hockersmith, that is a great idea. I love navy with the white trim.
