Did you install the wood floors first or the tiles? How does this work? Thank you.

Best to install the wood floor first. Make sure it is square and the size fits a predetermined tile pattern. You have some wiggle room with the tile by adjusting the grout joints slightly.
You could install an electric radiant floor warm up system under the tile if you live in a cold
climate. They use less energy than you might think and you feel warmer even if you lower
the room temperature for an overall savings.

I know exactly how you feel. I had a similar situation. The prospect of lifting the board and potentially raising the level made me wait. The wood darkened, and now I'm never fully sure where that board is. In fact, I forgot all about it till I saw this post. Wait a while. If it still bothers you in six months or a year maybe then consider lifting it. But I guarantee you won't, lol!

We had a very nice porcelain tile laid in our kitchen. It looks like a distressed grey wood plank. We would like some suggestions as to what flooring we should use throughout the rest of the house. Carpet is not an option and the installer said that because of the way the current floor is installed, tile is really not an option either. The walls are light grey with purple accents. What do you feel would be the best look?

Hello My husband and I are buying a new house and were considering installing Acacia hardwood.

Please note we are thinking to install the floor ourselves. Thanks for the help
