[quote=Anonymous]We are just starting to think about a kitchen remodel on a house we bought recently and I have some flooring questions.

We have a traditional colonial and our eat-in kitchen has an open doorway into our formal dining room. The old owners did a basic update and put wall to wall carpet in the dining room and ceramic tile in the kitchen and the powder room right off the kitchen. The entry-way foyer has hardwood that also opens into the kitchen and dining room.

I think it would look best to have one type of flooring throughout and I hate the carpet in the dining room. I think that hard wood throughout makes the most sense but I'm hesitant to put hardwood in our kitchen and powder room. I cook every day so the kitchen is certainly not just for show, and our kitchen is a high traffic area because it is a direct entry from our garage. I'm not one of those people who will freak out if the floors get some nicks or dents, but I don't want to see major damage and am worried that hardwood is going to be hard to maintain.

I should probably add that I have two little boys - definitely adds to the maintenance factor!

What do you think, DCUM? [/quote]
