I bought boxes of the tiles at my local Family Dollar, dirt cheap! I wanted to mention that Lisa LaPorta on HGTV recommends that you do NOT lay the tiles all the same way (per the arrows on the back). She says it looks more natural to lay them in all different directions, otherwise a pattern can develop making it look too "planned" and unnatural. Just my 2 cents. I know this from experience because I can see patterns in my floor, not what I wanted. Love how yours turned out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967917357775528851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-7369503386795609502011-11-18T13:23:01.688-05:002011-11-18T13:23:01.688-05:00Oh my gosh I don't even know how to thank you ...Oh my gosh I don't even know how to thank you for posting this!

We're going to do that when we redo the kitchen. My neighbor got this peel-n-stick stuff, but hers didn't hold up well, and her floor looked worse than it did before. Would you recommend using this in such a high traffic area?<br /><br />Does brand matter too much?<br /><br />Thanks a bunch!<br /><br />Nat<br /><br />P.S. I love your blog!

If I had been doing that, and you could see the plywood underneath, I would have gotten a black marker and colored that plywood to look like the black (is that black?) around the edge of the tiles!

My husband had to move the dryer around at one point and it ripped the vinyl a little bit and scuffed it up. I think we would have been fine if that hadn't been the case.
