[quote=Anonymous]Just do the kitchen in hardwood. As another poster said, they can do an almost perfect match (we've done this before and in mid-process of doing it again as we speak). If you put down cheap tile in the kitchen, it will still cost like $5 or more a square foot including install. You can get a midlevel hardwood for $10/sf including install. Assuming your kitchen is 15x15 feet (a pretty decent sized kitchen), you're only talking about $1100 extra to do the kitchen right with hardwood. Now maybe the original hardwood is something so crazy special that it's like $20/sf -- the extra cost is still only $3300 which is so worth it for something as fundamental as the kitchen flow through flow. But if you don't want to spend that, ask the floor guy if they can do a midgrade wood that is a 95% match to the original floor. But I'm trying to think what original floor wouldn't be cheap to match to. Most of the old hardwoods were pine and oak - which are not expensive. [/quote]
