Shokunin Artisan Concrete

gwence There will always be someone saying that what you want to do is stupid, a bad idea, blah blah blah. As long as it's great for who will be living with it then rock that sh**! I think the main reason people baulk at wooden floors in kitchens is they will be harder to clean than tile which is dumb because grout is harder to keep clean than wood. Just my 2 pennies...

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say that hardwoods are harder to clean as a reason for not wanting them in the kitchen. Instead, it’s more that wood floors in a kitchen suffer more wear and tear and suffer permanent damage if you end up with a water leak.
