I'd tend to agree... Most travertine has taupe or pinkish undertones. There IS some that has a decided yellowish cast, but that stone tends to be very vibrantly colored and have lots of holes...

I would recommend to tile a section of the entry ( unless you enter straight into the living room, then no) and then wood floors for the rest of the space. You can Also have tile in the kitchen area. It depends on the actual space, and somewhat where you live. Florida residents often have tiles in their homes, while people who live in cold climates generally don't.

clean the cabinets....the space looks as though nothing has been done over the years. When its time you'll have to do quite a bit ...probably a complete renovation. Save money and live with the floor and just use the space. I'd be concerned the appliances may cease to work any time so I'd be tuned in to a possibility they will need replacing and that is awkward . But this isnt the situation where i'd do small things one at a time. ...the result wont be satisfactory. Hopefully the older kitchen was factored into the price you paid for the dwelling.... look at it this way...you will end up with a great kitchen with everything to your taste/needs .

Primary bath renovation. We are planning on a porcelain Dolomite tile for all of the tile: 24X48 Polished for the shower walls and 12X24 Satin for the bathroom floor. Our concern is what to use for the shower floor. Although we love the look of the same floor running out from the shower across the bathroom, I am concerned about the slip factor if we were to use the 12X24. The DCOF of the tile we are currently looking at is .44. The tile does have a matching 4x4 hex but only in Polished, not Satin. Thoughts? For anyone with a curbless shower and linear drain what did you use and how has your experience been?
