Inspirational Ideas for Floors5
There are so many options for flooring on the market today. Do I choose travertine, linoleum (looks great now), carpet, wood? This book helps you answer those questions. It focuses on discussing various floor options, the pros and cons and where the flooring would best be used. What's so great about it is the photographs are clear and showcase the floors. You do get some furnishings in many of the photos, but without a doubt, the floor is the star.

Not only does the book show options like ceramic and porcelain tile, it shows floors with various patterns and layouts of each material. The book not only talks about vinyl flooring, but it talks about various types of sheet vinyl flooring, how it's made and what to look for when buying. There is even a section on flooring in garage and basements and include ways to vent moisture away.

I highly recommend this book and bought two, one for myself and one for my mother.

Very Satisfied5
The book was in great condition and delivery time was exceptional. Received the book within three days, which I was not expecting. Deserves five stars.
