Flooring, Finally!

After considering dozens of flooring samples to cover most of the downstairs, I finally made a decision. Forbo Marmoleum is a true linoleum, made of linseed oil combined with cork and sawdust. (Some people call vinyl floors linoleum, but they are not). Since linseed oil is plant-based, this stuff is considered to be one of the most eco-friendly floor coverings on the market. And compared to ceramic tile, it's warmer on the feet and friendlier to fragile objects dropped on it. It took the green movement to bring true linoleum back, and luckily it's now available in some decent colors. The photo shows a test layout of the 20" square tiles.
But the much more important test was the second one, with grandkids visiting yesterday and today. And it passed! Photos of that visit coming soon.
