kittensaver, your kitchen is beautiful. The transformation is impressive.
It's interesting there are all kind of flooring including carpet in a bathroom but no one has LVT or LVP.

I have grouted vinyl tile in my kitchen, entry, and bathroom. Most people assume it's ceramic tile until they touch it (and even then some people don't guess it's vinyl). I love it. Looks like tile , but it warmer. I did pay more for good quality vinyl tile that has a life time warranty, but I will definitely use it over tile in future bathrooms, as it's warmer and not prone to cracking if I drop a dish, etc.

That is why in floor heating is much better than traditional: say goodbye to cold floors!  |

I have hardwood everywhere including the kitchen and one bathroom. I use area rugs as appropriate and don't seem to have an issue with water. It may be the high gloss finish. In the other bathroom, there is cheap peel and stick tile over linoleum. (hoping neither is asbestos-based). We will do the long plank-style tile or hardwood when we re-do that bathroom soon.

We have ceramic tile in the kitchen and all bathrooms. When we bought the house was new but already finished. I don't know that I would have picked tile for the kitchen but it's there and I don't mind it.

Wood in the kitchen and tile in both baths. I love the wood in the kitchen. It was buried under 3 layers of everything else and after removing all that I will never cover it up again. This is an old house though so small scratches don't bother me at all. I don't think I'd hesitate to put it in a new house though because I just love the look. You can always re-sand and seal every few years as needed. |

I'm leaning toward tile. In the winter I wear socks so that should help. Thanks everyone.
