Dennis Lanni - beautiful, elegant solution!

@Derrick Craig I would hit Phil up for some $ but he better be saving it all to wine and dine some free agents!

Elegant.

We will be using the same stuff in the dining, kitchen, and bath.

It is close to a grocery store,  school and a bar and and it is valued at around $50k and I am wondering what is reasonable rent. it has 2 floors 2 bed rooms a living room dining room and kitchen.

I am going to be putting in new floors in the living room and dining room of my condo, and the cost to install hardwood isn't greatly different from having someone professional stain the cement.I know the stained cement would be more durable and less maintenance, but I would like to know other pros and cons of both options.

Then decided on Allure vinyl planks, BUT there are 2 steps down from kitchen/dining area to living room and powder room.

Note cool little seating in dining room, will be refinished: Another view of dining room showing Butler's pantry door.

We can do the installation properly to allow for the expansion /contraction issues.But worried about it cupping or coming apart.So the choice in this third floor unit is: for the foyer, den, dining rm, hall and possibly bedroom closets, is use a thicker laminate flooring(not top of the line brand but with a good warranty Pergo) which is basically cardboard and never refinish able.Or to go with this click bamboo with great warranty that has potential to be refinished if need.

The original owner knocked down a wall to make a dining room out of bedroom #2.
