Soon I'm going to have to decide about flooring and I just don't know!
Put it up for a vote!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha. That picture has attitude.

I should! I'm not even sure what exactly my options are going to be. I know Armstrong tile and parquet. Ceramic tile is an option but I think too expensive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You want tile-ish? My parents just put a bamboo floor in their kitchen, and it's niiiice.

We've thought about doing that too. I just don't know! I can't picture how it will look.

I hear that it's really soft, and if you have a lot of people with high heels, it will leave marks in the floor. But, I just read that in an article about some chi chi store in NY that had bamboo flooring, so it could be crap.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

According to my floor-installing-ex, bamboo in high-traffic places (like restaurants and stores) needs to be refinished every six months. Luckily, since it's soft, the refinishing is very easy.

Bamboo flooring.
Oh, yeah, I've seen pictures it's just hard for me to picture in context with the cabinets (white) and counters (oak, possibly stained coffee colored, butcher block) I'm getting.

I heard that too...possibly here? My problem with that is, as always, with the pets. Their why I can't have anything nice! Anyway, sturdier would be better.

I'm going for a kind of retro but not kitschy look. This is an example of the Armstrong tile that my contractor has mentioned as an option:
