Is vinyl flooring suitable for a laundry room?

for the below reasons:
1. Provide more continuity since the kitchen is right “next door”.
Our wood floor in the kitchen is stained red oak.
2. Our carpet is badly stained (thanks to messy kids and naughty 5
lb. chihuahuas). We’ve been told hardwood floors are easier to keep
clean when having to wipe up after the Chihuahua (thank goodness
she is not a big breed).
3. We are hoping our Chihuahua doesn’t even soil the new hardwood
since all prior scents will be gone — and FYI she has never gone on
our hardwood throughtout the house (fingers crossed!)
So here, finally, is my question:
In speaking with several friends who are really involved with animal rescue and often foster cats and dogs until a home can be found for them — they have all recommended BAMBOO wood flooring. They say it is not as attractive to dogs with housebreaking issues — but easier to clean if there are any “accidents”. It is less expensive, but I wonder if it is durable and will last as long as traditional wood floors — and also would they be able to match bamboo with my existing kitchen red oak flooring?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

I have a little 3×5 brown and beige zebra striped pottery barn rug in here, but I want to move it into my bedroom because my mom painting some amazing zebra paintings for it, and the rug simply goes with my decor in there. I love that this rug is a little eccentric in my living room- that it’s mismatched in a matching kind of way. I need to do this with another rug. I’m really drawn to cream flokati rugs, and it’d be a nice neutral in here (because my paintings are very colorful). But I’m going to be honest, I know what I like and I know that I have absolutely no idea what matches or goes with what or looks best. I was also considering a black and white floral toile rug, but would that look terrible considering I have dark brown bamboo floors and a dark brown couch? What other rug suggestions do you have you tasteful people!? Thank you ahead of time.
Also… here is a little section of my living room to give you an idea…http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae126…

We are just moving into a new house. The first floor is open concept. The kitchen has birch coloured cabinets and a brownish counter top with a terra cotta back splash. The problem is, the kitchen has an overall all pinkish hue. We are trying to find a colour to offset this pink (thinking BM spiced rum) but it has to coordinate with the rest of the space and up through to the upstairs. The living/dining area has bamboo floors and the front hallway is a beige tile. We are not afraid of colours and have mostly black furniture and would love to have orange accents. what colour combos would coordinate with this? The rooms include kithen, living/dining area, front hallway and stairs.

I am a broke college student who needs to find some carpet for my dorm. Im not able to spend a lot of money on it though. Can anybody help me?

I have a small space home that is currently carpet (living room) and vinyl flooring in kitchen. I hate carpet and am going to have laminate wood flooring put in, I was also going to have it run into the kitchen…would this be odd?

im 17/girl. my rooms like light green and i like in a condo so its not that bigg. i have wood floor and bamboo wood furniture. what color should i make my sheets/blanket/curtain. i was thinking purple or pink? please help/suggestions

I was going to use some wood look vinyl flooring, but after pricing it out, I’m not so sure. I know laminate isn’t right for the kitchen and I hate the feel of tile underfoot. What would you suggest? The kitchen and dining room are connected and there is no wall separating the 2 rooms.
Please and thank you!

The walls and carpet thing was not my fault. I knew what I wanted but my dad said that I might think it was stupid in about a year. The walls are beige and the floor is green, I have matching bedding- it’s kind of a cabana thing going on, I even have a bamboo curtain for my window that i’m going to put up. How do I make my room awesome? I have a lot of different tastes, I kind of want a gothic looking canopy from Hot Topic and I kind of want these hanging light things that are white flowers that light up. I definitley will put pictures up and maybe I could do something to the floor to hide it? Please help, I dont have much money but a birthday coming up and I really want a room that says me better. Im an 18 year old girl.

Hello – After having lived in a house with NO wood, I am delighted now to have moved into a house that is full of beautiful oak, including oak doors and oak window frames in most rooms.
What the house does not have, however, is wood flooring. I’m happy with the new ceramic tiling I chose for the kitchen and entryways, but I am very unhappy with the cork floor I put in the family room – it has faded badly where it is exposed to sunlight, the seams are more prominent than I expected, and it just doesn’t look as rich as I had hoped it would.
Now I want to get rid of the carpet in the living room, but I am puzzled: The living room is not large, and I fear it might be too much of a good thing to put down flooring that matches the oak doors and window frames; still, I don’t trust myself to blend different woods and colors. I’m interested in bamboo, but I don’t know if it would harmonize with the oak – I don’t want again to spend a lot of money and be as disappointed as I am with the cork flooring.
I should add that our style is very casual, and that we have nine cats (yes, honestly)– so high quality, durable flooring is important.
Thank you for any ideas!
