And don't go for anything under a 3.5mm thickness or a 12 mil wearlayer WITH a scratch resistant FINISH (The wearlayer is just the clear coat over the color, the Finish is what gives it its durablity) .

Thank you @Iverem Rose.

I even brought in a decorator I know to pick out paint colors.

But the house is stucco exterior with tons of cracks in the stucco that have to be repaired. 2 stucco Contractor's have quoted us $12k - $15k to sand blast, patch, apply a new "brown coat" and finishing color coat.

I have a degree in Civil Engineering from Rose Hulman and look forward to new adventures.  

Upon inspection, the house passed with flying colors, I had a structural and Mechanical engineer's letter deeming the home safe.

Consider the effects of color  - dark will darken the room even though it looks classy and, if it gets nicks, the scratches will show the nicks more than a light color (same thing for cabinets).
