[quote=Anonymous]We renovated 10 years ago, gutted a Colonial and turned it into an open plan house.  We love hardwood floors, so we had no problem with hardwood everywhere else, but hesitated to use wood in the kitchen.   The architect persuaded us to do hardwood everywhere.  10 years later, the floors look gorgeous everywhere but in the kitchen -- and I'm saying this as someone who chose honed over shiny granite and who loves the patina on wood furniture.  If you actually use your kitchen -- if you cook, have kids and dogs, hardwood will look awful.

OTOH, have you ever cooked while standing on ceramic tile?  It's really hard on the back.  We had ceramic tile in our beach house kitchen when we bought it and switched to linoleum.  Don't let the design police scare you off -- you can actually find some really nice linoleum flooring.  I rounded up two architect friends who are moms to help me with this project, with great results: the kitchen is both functional and beautiful.      [/quote]
