Put a Cork in It!

I've been pretty excited about my choice of flooring for the kitchen, and today was a great day because I actually got to see it in the kitchen for the first time! Like several of the other materials, we got the cork flooring at Ecohaus. They have many options for cork, and we went with the Vida cork planks in the Bamboo pattern. It looks very elegant in the kitchen, and adds a nice warmth in color--a big difference from the previous grey ceramic tile! Cork is well-loved by chefs for its softness on the feet and joints. It is also extremely quiet--when Linus walks across it, it sounds like a light pitter-patter of rain!

Here are a couple pictures from today:
