[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Upper Income Bracket = Tile (nice tile, typically European, larger formats are popular now)

Wood floor = suburban, middle class

Not in places like Georgetown or Kalorama. Seeing tiles in the kitchen is very rare in the multimillion dollar houses there. My impression is that people look down on tile in general in this area. I actually mostly  only see it in cheaper houses. Are you from the DMV? [/quote]

You mean in tiny Georgetown rowhomes? That’s to make it look bigger and or is historic indeed from when it was in fact low income housing, not true of Kalorama at all.

No, I mean the 5mil+ Georgetown mansions. I genuinely don’t ever remember seeing one with tile in the kitchen. You also almost never see it in expensive new builds pretty much anywhere around time. It is just a fact in this area. Not sure why you get so worked out about it. I don’t judge you for tile in your kitchen. I would have installed it too if I was not worried about hurting resale value as wood is what people expect in the kind of house I own. [/quote]
