This is a picture of the dining room and adjoining kitchen ( no flooring in kitchen—— that’s photoshopped tile)

Left is engineered white oak, Right is LVP

Two waterproof laminates

Two waterproof pergos from Lowes.
Tavern oak and natural park hickory.

I did look at doing LVTile…and I liked this one for the kitchen, but putting it in the dining room just seems like too much tile???
We’re on a lake and have kind of an outdoor theme so I wasn’t sure if the tile look was a good idea or not?

We just installed the waterproof Mannington Revival series throughout our entire new build (except full baths). It's beautiful and sounds/feels just like hardwood when you walk on it. There is some kind of underlayment to cut down on the noise, but shoes-on-wood will always make a little noise!

Waht are the floors in the rest of the living space ? IMO flooring first then cabinets usually for a cleaner look . Now you will have amess removing the appliances to make sure the new floor goes all the way under them. I think if you like real wood do real wood it has been used in kitchens for a very long time . I do however like all the flooring in the main living space to be the same when at all possible so what do you have?

Looks like it will have to be carpet in the hallways and adjoining living room.
I would have preferred it to be all the same but our main hallway is out of level all directions . I have had three professional installers out and even with leveling compound and a floating floor, it won’t be AS bad, but not perfectly level.
carpet would hide the problem best. Two refused to anything but carpet.
One said they would do a floating floor but no warranty.

No problem with appliances. Old ones leave. Flooring goes in. Nee ones installed afterwards.
But yes I agree, it would have been easier to pick the flooring first. My husband insisted on walnut. We do both LOVE them but flooring has been a challenge.
