Erin Elizabeth, I think it looks fine as well. This will come down to personal preference.

Stairs should match the floors. Period. You need new bamboo treads.

Hello Juan Ramirez , Without seeing photos I may be overly optimistic - why can't you cut a square or rectangle out of the carpet, pull up the padding, add a schluter strip/transtion strip/tile stop from Home Depot and throw a couple of tiles down over some quick-krete - also from Home Depot? Maybe its a hundred bucks worth of stuff & you keep the carpet? If you want to do the whole floor in the bedroom / vanity - laminate would be less expensive than engineered wood. Of course - they call everything, 'engineered wood flooring,' nowadays.... A real engineered wood floor would be fine - that means when you look at the flooring sample from the side you will clearly see (2) woods glued together - they expand/contract @ different rates making them less likely to get water damage and other science stuff. It'll also be THICK. Hope that helps a little, -frank

Hallett & Co gave you great advice in the other thread: Link to Other Thread For those who don't want to click the link, here's what he said You have traditional, site finished oak floors which are one of the most readily available floor types out there. If you don't want to sand and finish all the floors upstairs, install the floors in the bedroom 90 degrees to the hall so a slight change of color and or sheen will not be as noticeable.
