This new hardwood flooring will get a lot of wear and tear in this area mostly.
I wanted black and white tile in the kitchen, but not really in the whole space (also has laundry area, breakfast room, and stairs to second floor sharing the same floor space).
I had some left-over vinyl from a job and it measured around 5' wide by 7 ' long. I decided to re-purpose it for use in this kitchen area.
