>> May I ask why you are abandoning the wood flooring?

Great question! The flooring was damaged by a leak and that material is no longer sold. So we had to make a choice: either replace the flooring with a material that doesn't match the rest of the house, or go with tile.

Also we have concerns about wood in the bathroom due to moisture.

The installer is coming tomorrrow. I hope we chose the right path.
