When I moved in my home my kitchen had lanoleum and it really always bothered me. I just could not stand the look of it and the installation of it was pretty horrible. So, I decided to get ceramic tiles and I just love them. They look beautiful and they are so easy to keep clean. Now, my mothers flooring on the other hand was beautiful before their dog just completely ruined it. She just got the wrong color and ground so it always looks dirty.
