My parents had cork in the 50's and 60's and loved them. The biggest decision is color, and there are many to choose from. I will post photos as the floor goes in, probably in a month or so. We are just getting started with the demolition and basic new electrical/plumbing work. Thanks for your explanations and photos. I enjoyed knowing how much you like them.

Did you have your floor coated or varnished after it was layed? Also how is it holding up after a few years of wear? Thanks for your post and all of your photo!
