| Our 1922 rowhome has its original oak floors in our entry, living room and dining room. The kitchen is a galley kitchen where they took one wall down to open onto the DR. In the back is a sun room that is open from the kitchen and DR.
We currently have tile in kitchen and sunroom, but while doing a small kitchen renovation we want a new floor b/c we are having some issues with the tiles (and the subfloor). I am considering tile, laminate, but would love to have hardwood. But I can't afford to replace the floor in the whole main level. Would I be crazy to consider a contrasting hardwood for the kitchen and sun room? Does anyone have photos of where this has been done? Thanks in advance! |

| Have an experienced flooring contractor put down new oak and refinish the old oak so it all matches. Two different woods doesn't really look so great most of the time. |

| I like live_wire_oak's approach. We've also seen more people using cork flooring in their kitchen. It is very comfortable to stand on and touhger and more durable than more people think. It is not a bad idea to put it in the sunroom too. |
