Basement Flooring

Final decisions were made on our flooring last week.  We've decided to go a little lighter with the vinyl flooring and have chosen the lighter stained option below (the one on the bottom was our original choice).  We were just worried our original choice would be too dark for the space. 

We also choose a 12"x24" slate-like porcelain tile for the mudroom area. 

When the tiling is complete, it will look similar to the room below.  As much as I loved the herringbone pattern mentioned in my previously post, we thought it would look a little strange up against the vinyl/wood since the width of the tile would have been the same as the vinyl.
