New flooring for the home...

Hoof Hearted · 01-19-2007, 10:03 AM

We want to rip out the linoleum and carpets to replace the flooring in the kitchen/dining, living room and hallway. Possibly the two bathrooms, too. Keeping the carpet in the 2 bedrooms and office. We are on a slab foundation.

I cannot stand the feel of dry wood on my bare feet! It is like fingernails/chalkboard to me. I'm shuddering just thinking about it. Because of this, I want to use TILE. I'm sure hubby will want wood floors.
I know wood is supposed to be "warmer" and tile is "colder", but we do have a problem cooling the house in the summer. Keeping it warm in winter is no problem. I can also use area rugs.
Anyone have any suggestions for how we can resolve this difference of opinions and both be happy?
