We found in our recent DIY that the type of floor your choose for your Kitchen can really make a difference between beautfiful and okay. Most people tend to put ceramic tile because it is cheap and easy to clean. We went a different route, after spending an hour walking around Floor & Decor I found some granite tiles that were on major sale. Now I know granite is usually loved on countertops but wait until you see it on your floor. We got it for the same price we would have spent on a ceramic and people say it is their favorite part of the kitchen. The only downfall, it is cold to your feet so you better wear slippers :)
Here are pictures from our kitchen
Maintenance: Since granite is pourish it needs to be treated with a granite sealer just like a countertop but once that is done it is so easy to clean. The sealer is realy cheap and you just wipe it on with a rag and let it dry.
Another cute, but slightly more expensive option I found was tile the resembles wood. I have seen it in many DIY shows on TV and they sell it at Floor & Decor. Comes about three different colors. Wood floor is not always a good option in areas that will get wet often so this is a great alternative.
Happy Flooring!!!!
