I would love to have this carpet out of here, but everytime I get my hopes up....I get them squashed. I love the look. A friend of mine has wood look linoleum in her kitchen and I really thought it was hardwood or laminate. I never dreamed it was linoleum.

Janet, it is all hardwood - it's just that we put down the wood in the living room 7 years ago, and then when we went to put it in the two bedrooms, the company had gone out of business, so we had to match the living room wood with wood from another company. It didn't take too much looking though, I was surprised that it didn't take us forever to find a good match.

My mom is over here with us this week and she commented today how good the two bedrooms looked. When we put in the wood in the living room 7 years ago, she wouldn't have heard of having wood in the two bedrooms. Now she likes it! :rolleyes:

I have heard that the wood look linoleum is really nice - I've heard it from several people, but I've never looked at it. That would be the ticket I think, with all our doggies!

I have wood floors in my kitchen/dining area, but what I really want is linoleum that looks like slate. I have seen some that looks so good I had to touch it to tell the difference. It would be SO easy to care for, and I'm basically a lazy person:p

Betsi, I've never heard of linoleum that looks like slate! I gotta get out more! :yelrotflmao:

Home depot has them. They aren't cheap, but you can't tell that they are vinyl!

paula1961 07-12-2010 01:39 PM

It's true..you can't tell that it is vinyl unless you reach down and touch it. We have it in the new camper. I love it! It is very easy to take care of especially having these furkids:rolleyes: You know how that can be.

I haven't heard of that either. I'll have to look the next time I go to Lowe's!!

Blueyes 07-14-2010 03:01 PM

I want the kind that is installed in a sheet, not the individual tiles. There are few seams and it looks REAL!

gja1000 07-14-2010 06:19 PM

LOL! You all arent' going to believe this!! :D

Back in December I moved into an office in the new wing of our school. Just today, after you all were talking about the vinyl that looked like slate, I realized that the flooring in the reception area was slate. But WAIT! I thought, "I wonder if this is really slate", so I reached down and touched it and I'LL BE DARNED, it was VINYL!

LOL! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!! :yelrotflmao:

It DOES look like slate and you cannot tell that it isn't!!! Amazing!

Blueyes 07-14-2010 06:25 PM

That's SO funny that you couldn't tell either:p Isn't it gorgeous! It ain't cheap, either;)

gja1000 07-14-2010 07:32 PM

Yes, it is gorgeous! I'm gonna have to check this stuff out at HD!

DianaB 07-15-2010 09:12 AM

That's funny!!!!!

Is this what you guys are talking about? This is what's in the camper and it isn't squares.

Blueyes 07-15-2010 01:24 PM

Sure looks like it, Paula. Beautiful!!

Thanks Bets!!! I had never seen it before either. It really does look exactly like slate. Everybody that comes in the camper comments on it. They think it's slate and I say..........feel of it and they just can't believe it!
