I really really didn't like laminate at first but the brand we got (Harmonics Laminate at Costco) looks great and is priced so well! We wanted to go with hardwood, but it would have been so expensive for materials plus we couldn't install it ourselves. Not to mention the wear and tear of the dogs' nails. Let me know if you have any questions! Miss M- I really wish I could have refinished it but it was not worth it. :( Plus, we already put laminate in the hallway and Mr. Money is picky about having all kinds of different flooring in the house. He wants it uniform. I'm okay with it now. :) Tiffany- I would go ahead and do the laminate.

I think it depends on how well it is installed, I've seen plenty that looks just like vinyl flooring, yuck. Too bad the wood couldn't be saved, ours are in good shape I think because they were under carpet for a long time. There are tack/nail marks all over it, but they just add character.

I think I read the post wrong. Anyways... lol. I think just making your house more of a "home" to you, you'll better enjoy your home. Plus, get some ideas out of design books and find frugal ways of designing your house the way you want. It's a fun challenge! Okay… I think I read the post wrong. Anyways… lol.

I am buying a home shortly and will have to replace flooring & was planning on doing laminate b/c I hear most other flooring animals can scratch it up.
