More on flooring

Er, well, a few posts back I posted about the laminate stuff that we put down. A few weeks later, I really like it -- we were discussing what kind of floor's going down in the new bathroom, and if we can find a design we like we're probably going to go with more of the same line. 

Advantages: 1. Scoffs at water, 2.looks great, like tile. 3. Feels soft and somewhat warm, unlike linoleum, vinyl, or tile. 4. actually has a lower finished cost than other alternatives, despite being a more expensive material., 5. 25-year guarantee., 6. easy installation and a very forgiving process. 7. crazy easy prep -- sweep and you're done, unless you need to pull carpet. 8. cuts with scissors or a carpet knife. 9. mine turned out REALLY cheap because the size of the pieces allowed me to work around islands and such -- so I ended up needing two fewer boxes than estimated. 

When we were looking at it, we also looked at some laminate wood that looked really great. I seem to recall that the Dupont line is a) awesome and b) on sale right now.
