Deciding on flooring, suggestions please
Comments (3)Wooden pallets are untreated wood. Termites will take them out in a single season. I used 12" pavers to make a 'walkway' though my HFGH, leaving a center bed for future planting in-ground as well as side beds. Also set the heat sink barrels on 12" pavers.

Comments (7)This is really funny, because it's like I'm you in some alternate universe. I have a small 15 x 8 kitchen, hardwoods throughout my 1941 Cape Cod, and the main entrance off the garage comes into the kitchen (so dirt is always getting tracked in), and we have a dog and a kid - so my situation is almost exactly the same as yours.

That tile was called Veranda, and there were two different shades that would have worked with the Blue Pearl. There were several other gray floor tiles, too, and I think they all come in other sizes. I was going for gray because my LR and DR are gray, but Blue Pearl is pretty gray too. And I think gray will help hide dirt, and you can use gray grout, or a darker charcoal grout, which is convenient since it's going to turn gray anyway. I thought it solved a lot of problems at once. I probably will still end up with a gray floor. Oh, and I was a going to lay the tile in a brick pattern horizontally staggered, or you could do the diagonal. Either way, the room looks wider, supposedly....See MoreDrop ceiling and vinyl plank floors. Suggestions please.

Comments (1)Turn on all the lights in your house then take some photos of your surfaces. Then, go to the local big box home store and see what is available to go with your existing surfaces. I am recommending the big boxes because their in-stock merchandise is a much better value than anything that you could special order. Since it varies with your local store’s fast moving inventory, I am not in a position to recommend anything....See MoreRelated Professionals
