Install ceramic tile in all areas that have linoleum (bathrooms, kitchen, laundry)?

I appreciate the feedback @JR Nieman , I am currently at $80/sq ft for the basic fixtures, granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, laminate wood, ceramic tile.

Same for ceramic but still figure AT LEAST 10% for edges, more if the areas are chopped up.

I know you didn't have insurance, but this can be a guideline for labor costs.I would recommend the use of 100% ceramic tile for flooring (or maybe even stained concrete) since you are self-insuring.

In Florida, wall-to-wall ceramic tile all the way!

Work I did myself: Installed new ceramic tile in the kitchen, basement, and bathrooms; painted; installed new kitchen appliances; installed new garage door; installed new screen door; updated landscaping; replaced water heater; updated bathrooms; added kitchen cabinets.

@Mike ReynoldsA high-fire ceramics kiln can get to 2350F to fire porcelain and stoneware glazes.

I have recently been suggested to do 6" x 36" porcelain or ceramic plank flooring ("wood look") throughout the entire house, including all the bathrooms and bedrooms.

Out of all the junk and stuff and (insert word here, you know what it is) that Granny owns, only the land is -- well -- real.You can build little ceramic figurines of cows and ballerinas until doomsday.

If you're looking to spend more, there's always wood-look ceramic tile which a lot of restaurants and hotels are using these days.If it's not a large area and you have a healthy budget, there's always oak.
