Flooring: we were thinking of a laminate that looks like old farmhouse boards. Can you tell me more about how cork would be better, or would laminate work.
When we built our house 22 yrs. ago laminate flooring was not so available. The house I grew up in had cork in the Liv./Dining Rm. and Den. My cork flooring, are tiles 11 3/4" square. They do have an acrylic coating on them to protect against water. I just vac them and very occasionlly use a damp mop on them. Laminate flooring would work fine, just make sure the boards fit tight together.
