[quote=Anonymous]What I would do -- if you really want wood throughout... get hardwood installed in the kitchen, using unstained wood, same type of wood as the rest of the house (i.e. if the rest of the house is Oak, use oak).  The materials will be relatively inexpensive through lumber liquidators, but installation is expensive and may involve moving cabinets at this stage.

Then, you rent a sander and do the staining and sealing.  This is not difficult, we did it.  The results are great.  Then all your hardwood floors will be freshly finished and in the same stain and seal.

Alternately, if you want an inexpensive temporary solution, look at last week's Washington Post Local Living which profiles a designer named I think Kerra Michelle Huerta.  She has a good tip about covering ugly tile floor with an attractive vinyl cut to fit.  The article mentions a stylish supplier - she is a high end designer and it was $260 for a small bathroom floor but beautiful.

Even cheaper, use an indoor/outdoor rug for a temp solution.[/quote]
