We are going with bamboo, and I have been told that it scratches easily, I`m hoping that I don`t regret it. We had glossy tiles in our last home, they also look great but as soon as you clean them you get footprints straight away. Very frustrating! No kids just yet for us but who know what the future holds! My Homeone Thread - Re: Oracle platinum home Hamilton 257 11Mar 15, 2016 9:47 am Looks great! What is holding you up at the moment?

Congrats Jamie I spoke to Jodi yesterday and she said 3-4 days in production estimating for us and we should go to site after that.
