I'm not sure if they cost more than engineered or not, but they are more of a pain at install. (You have to remove everything for a few days for the process.) Our floors are super durable but we only have one kiddo at home and a small dog. The cats and the dog haven't put a mark in them though. My one recommendation is to do a SATIN poly if you do them on-site -- you don't see footprints or anything else really. It's awesome. (We had shiny laminate before and it drove me crazy.)<br />Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-61852919995920249422015-03-01T19:53:01.413-05:002015-03-01T19:53:01.413-05:00You know I really like the look of it without late...You know I really like the look of it without lately. I didn't on the island because I wanted the stools to be pushed in as far as possible. I am weird about that though -- I like to be able to push furniture right up against the wall. :)Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-51497450156538781542015-03-01T16:34:30.326-05:002015-03-01T16:34:30.326-05:00I love how your island turned out!

Your blog has inspired me many times and I'm also using the colors you have in your home - Analytical Gray and Agreeable Gray - in my home. Great colors! I do have a question regarding your island. Do you plan on putting corner round on the island or is the trend to not do this any longer or do you not want to? I was wondering your thoughts.
