Congrats! Sewing rooms are great. We didn't have the money to put in laminate when we had a leak and had to pull the carpeting. Home Depot has a great product that is vinyle,but looks like wood. It is really easy to put down. I did mine myself (my studio is 17'X28" as I have a longarm and my office). I even used one of quilting rules to cut the tiles with a utilty knife. It look a couple of days as I had to move things to one end and back again. I also had to wait to have my husband help me move the big stuff (14' longarm and cabinets left over from his business). Anyway this product comes in 6" X 36" strips and overlaps kind of like laminate. It has a 25 year warrenty and comes in 3 colors. My handyman said "Oh, you went with wood in here."
