I knew I wanted something waterproof, low maintenance. I planned a high-grade sheet vinyl. My sister in law put it in her bathroom, it looks like wood. I ordered samples, got everyone’s input, agonized over it ( not really).
Miguel looked at it and said “can’t”. There would be too many cuts because the island was bolted to the floor.
Back to samples and agonizing…. it’s so difficult to make a selection of a whole floor, looking at a 4″X4″ sample. Choose the top of the line “luxury vinyl plank”, got many samples. Narrowed it to 2. Showed them to Miguel. He said this one….was one of the 2 that I liked.

After the installation…I wasn’t sure? Maybe too busy, did it flow into the other room’s wood floors. That night I woke up, walked into the kitchen. It looked beautiful! The floors went perfectly with the cabinets. The verdict is in….I love it.
