New floors in kitchen & laundry room!

After we installed our Allure plank flooring in the living room, dining room & hall, we knew that eventually we would like to extend it into our kitchen and laundry room/mudroom to cover 60+ year old tile/grout. This stuff is seriously the bomb. It comes with a 25 year warranty, is water/scratch resistant (which is awesome with dogs in the house) and its so easy to install. It goes on top of any flooring, self sticks, and can be cut with an x acto knife. Pardon some of the pics....they're from my cell phone. Here is our laundry room with the old tile:
And the laundry room now with plank floors:
Here's the kitchen when we moved in:
And then with the old tile after we renovated everything:
And now with the plank flooring:
Looks so much better, homey, and matches our other floors. I'm loving not having any more grout to clean in this house, lol! If you're looking for a great alternative to laminate/hardwood, I would suggest going to Home Depot and checking this product out. It's about the same cost as some laminate, but not near as much of a hassle to install.
