What's everyone's thoughts on wood floors in the kitchen?
Currently, I have travertine tile in the kitchen and while it's pretty when new, it is very porous and fragile. Plus, keeping grout clean in a kitchen is difficult and time consuming. So I'm thinking of replacing it with wood.
it seems that wood is popular right now in kitchens and if done right looks good. But i worry amount spills leaking through and warping it and whether it can sustain heavy traffic (though that can be mitigated by the type of wood used).
Thoughts?
