My personal favorite is ceramic tile. You will need to remove existing flooring down to the slab, but the cost for the new tile is not excessive and there is a big selection of styles and colors.

Wise decision on the carpeting.

since the bathroom floor is on a slab that's the best type of floor to lay tile. All you need is to add the thinset mortar and the tiles given the floor is level to start off with. Just my .02 worth!!

We are looking to buy a new house and I am curious if this sounds right. Under the bathroom and kithen sinks there are not vents to the outside. Both are on the outside walls of the house. They have been vented using those undercabinet vents. The ones that have the gray caps on the top of them. Thanks for any help, Greg

I am wondering if anyone has ever went to XXXXXXXXXXXX to inquire about drawing rooms in 3D to see a room design before its built? A friend of mine told me about this site and told me to think about doing it. Why you ask, I guess I have many bathroom ideas in my head but dont know how they would look. If you do not know what I am talking about please go visit this site. D.S.
