linoleum

, might as well put in new linoleum on top of the new sub flooring. Since the floor's coming up, there's no better time to put in that sink the wife wanted.

Looking at linoleum makes me wanna have sex. [from Buffy the Vampire Slayer obv.

For what it's worth: we just renovated, and we have linoleum floors now. They're great; grippy, still pleasant to walk on, and, most importantly, easy to clean.

Unfortunately it still looks like that cheap brown linoleum in your grandparents' kitchen.

For example, she thinks she has to keep a partially used swatch of linoleum because it may be needed someday. Or old pots and pans because one of the kids may need them when they move out and start a household of their own.

Painting, laying linoleum, hanging prefab cabinets, etc are all easy to do and easy to take part ownership in. I like the thought that a homeowner can brag to their friends that "they" built something.

I could probably draw for you the pattern on the linoleum in the bathroom. What's really funny is that the level of detail I remember about the living spaces I lived after the age of about 4 drops off considerably.

Definitely if you're a slacks-wearing corporate stooge middle manager, you'd rather work in an office park with a linoleum cafeteria and acres of parking. To remind yourself every day that you're not exceptional.

The aesthetics of the space I’m in materially effect my general mood and productivity level, and having control over that environment is one of the reasons I’m self-employed, because I can’t stand being surrounded by plastic, linoleum, and carpeted cubicle walls. Objectively, it looks no different than any other piece of consumer electronics.

Thus, a linoleum floor covering featuring a multicolored pebble design which was produced by a mechanical process in unrepeatable, random patterns, is not registrable. Similarly, a work owing its form to the forces of nature and lacking human authorship is not registrable; thus, for example, a piece of driftwood even if polished and mounted is not registrable.

Here's a classic article touching on similar topics: "Before he was two years old, it is said, Wayne Gretzky watched hockey games on television, enraptured, and slid his stockinged feet on the linoleum in imitation of the players, then cried when the game was over, because he could not understand how something so sublime should have to come to an end. This was long before Gretzky was any good at the game itself, or was skilled in any of its aspects[...

I understand the concern about heat but I've cooked with linoleum counters for my entire life, mostly as a baker, and I don't remember damaging one. It's just a question of not getting into the habit of setting hot objects on arbitrary surfaces. I and every cook in my family has a nice little collection of trivets, which cost a few dollars each and often come with college logos or bad jokes on them. Of course, this probably makes us look lower-class. See above under "status symbol". We also have the confidence that, should we make a mistake, we can always buy a second or even a third linoleum countertop and still be saving money over granite or engineered stone.
