Now thinking about wood.....
For our LSL visit we stayed in a cute little key west looking home adjacent to LSL sales center. The home had gorgeous hand scraped hickory floors. I'm sure they are incredibly pricey.
I mentioned them to my daughter who said her designer BFF chose "linoleum" in a wood design for her own new home. Durable, beautiful and inexpensive and easy on the feet and legs. .
Anyone know about these products? I think of the old checker board pattern linoleum squares. I guess it's come a long way since then
Any info would be appreciated!
TIA!
My daughter has this in her home and it is beautiful. They live in the country on a horse farm so they not only love the look but the easy care. It comes in all grades and the best is equivalent to hardwood in price. Check it out and I think you will be surprised. It is not the old linoleum but thick vinyl planks. People never notice that it is not hardwood.
