What did you do, TOTV readers?

My reaction is to not try to blend the tile but go with wood flooring. That offers a new updated look that doesn't look like it tried to match the tile, but failed. We have tile in the entryway, baths, laundry room and kitchen, hardwood in the living and dining and carpet in the bedrooms.
