If it is really a mud room, then I would be concerned about the
slippery-factor associated with ceramic tile unless you pick a style
with a rough surface. Wet mud and snow could make the floor pretty
slippery. I'd also be concerned about the grout getting very dirty,
even if well sealed, in a mud room.

I agree. I would go with vinyl sheet. It's cheap, durable,
waterproof and more. Self installation is really very
straighforward and doesn't require any special tools --
a tape measure, sharp utility knife and a reasonably
long straight-edge will help however. Just take it slowly,
measure several times, cut once, and don't rush. There's
no rocket science involved!

As a high school student I had a summer job installing
vinyl and other flooring. So it really is simple enough
for a kid to do ;-)
