We would like new flooring in our kitchen. We have hickory cabinets that I like and want to keep, and I like the look of medium colored wood floors... but I think that would look like too much wood and look too rustic than suits me. I think a pretty dark wood floor would work, but I'm just not sure I want to go that dark. So I am hoping for some ideas of what kind of floors would look best in this room. We would like to continue whatever flooring we do in the kitchen through the adjacent living room as well. I would also appreciate any suggestions for new countertops, but my main concern right now is the flooring. I am looking forward to any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!
