[QUOTE="DDD, post: 48665, member: 35"] I went with the laminate, Barbara. Only time will tell if it was the right choice or not. We have a grungy blue-collar parts store and my husband either can't or won't remember to take his shoes off in the garage...so the carpet had to go! Then the two teen boys and friends aren't exactly cautious either and invariably crumbs, spills etc. hit the deck. It's not exactly Animal House but it sure isn't Martha Stewart either. Allegedly the laminate is closer to stainproof and damage proof. Should something bad happen, it was less expensive and I have a spare package of the flooring in the garage! Were my financial circumstances more like they used to be I would have gone with "real" wood and had the professionals apply three coats of the laminate to give it a durable, hard finish and shine. That is what I had in my older home when I was raising the first batch of kids and it was gorgeous and protected. Pamela, I'm hoping he gets it done this week. My laundry room is off the kitchen and somehow the sight of hampers full of dirty laundry detracts from the renovations..lol! DDD [/QUOTE]
