Well the average homeowner lives in a residence on average about 5-7
years so it is always good to poll the general populace on what is
normally acceptable as far as design goes. Almost every home is going
to be sold at one point or another so it is always good to design the
home with the thought that you may want to sell it someday and you
don't want an investment of time and money to actually hurt the value
of your home. I think he posed a good question that many new DIY'ers
may be interested in. Although the wood flooring in a kitchen is a
matter of common sense not taste, IMHO.

Berating someone for asking opinions is not a good way to build a
friendly newsgroup. But, I guess that's a matter of taste also. Or is
that tact?

OK so you have been TOLD directly, and now you have been TOLD what
someobdy else says somebody else TOLD them....need to be told any
more? This is a matter of taste, NOT of building code, structural
engineering or other FACTUAL matter. Its for you, not for us, none
of
us will ever see your kitchen floor or cabinets. If you want same
wood, do you need our permission to get it?
