Wood Look Tile Floors --- What to use for Baseboard Tile ?
Comments (6)That floor looks very similar to mine. (Currently being laid). Mine is porcelain Edgewood in Stone non-rectified tile. We have tile throughout and carpet in bedrooms and closets. We have white wood baseboards painted to match the walls, a SW white....See MoreCan I use wood look vinyl plank or tile on walls
Comments (9)I don't really understand what you're proposing, but I don't think that vinyl flooring or porcelain tile are going to be appropriate materials for the exterior of your home, and neither would be amenable to paint, so you'd be getting the look of fake wood-grain all over, which feels more Colorado than Florida. Maybe you need to post a few examples of homes whose look you like so that we can help you capture some of that feeling here. I honestly think that the current finishes work pretty well, but I'm sure there are alternatives too....See MoreHelp us pick a tile for our bathroom floor that goes with shower wall

Granite, cabinet, wood look tile etc.
Comments (7)OK...here's the thing with real wood vs. fake. When you put both of them up against each other you will cause EACH of them to look 'fake'. Yep. Even the real stuff looks fake. You really should be looking at stone or tile looking vinyl. Or you go with lino or cork. Do NOT use fake wood floors in the kitchen! Don't. Do. It! You will calmly and firmly tell your partner to STAY OUT of the kitchen floor decision. #1. You already have a hardwood floor that will be REFINISHED (not replaced...refinished) later #2. You have wood grain cabinets chosen = two different woods visible to one another #3. You have a VERY busy slab picked out and that slab reads greenish-gray You already have TWO woods that are within just a few feet of each other (cabinet wood and flooring wood). To add a fake wood means you want to add a THIRD wood-look/tone into the same space. That's WAY too much. IF you want wood-look in the kitchen then use it EVERYWHERE. Rip out the real wood (please don't) and throw down the fake stuff throughout the level in your house. And please use painted cabs rather than wood cabs....cause it can be very difficult to get real wood (the stained cabinets) to look "OK" with fake (not even 'good'...just 'ok'). So...tell partner that you can have the fake wood in the kitchen SO LONG AS everything else changes. Snort! That will cause MASSIVE upset in the house hold. I guarantee it. Then calmly state, "OK. So that's not an option. The easiest way to do this is to pick stone-looking products. It is much easier. Everything else stays the same." Go ahead and google "travertine look" vinyl or tile. You will see HUNDREDS of them on line. Pick one that allows the COUNTER TOPS to be the star...You can only have ONE DIVA in a kitchen. Right now that DIVA is the counter tops. Everything else needs to be part of the back-up cast....See MoreJennifer Svensson
