Hey Victor, Is one grain of salt all we are allowed to have? Suppose we like pepper instead? How many grains of pepper could we take for this bit of advice? Grin!

Maybe in the form of a floor mat...In other words, I don't think you can get away from having carpet, albeit in a smaller area than you had it before, but some form nonetheless. Another thing you might want to consider is the safety of your pet. A lot of times, especially, if you let the dog out to go relieve itself through that door, the dog will tend to pull you down the corridor, Even when it feels that it really, really has to go, so not only will you risk scratching up the floor, but you'll risk the dog, and possibly you, slipping on that flooring. In the last couple of months, Boop wrote in that she installed cork flooring. I think this might be the way to go for you. Not only would it blend in with the rest of the flooring in the other rooms, depending on if various colours are available in the cork flooring, but the surface would be soft enough that you could get some traction, whether wet or dry, including the dog's paws, as well. In terms of the transition, If you get a good enough threshold, that is, something between the hallway flooring and the room transitions you are going to transition, I don't think you should have a problem. Please keep in mind that I have never seen cork flooring and am basing my opinion on what a cork board looks like, , so I don't know exactly what the floor would look like visually, I'm approaching this from a safety stand point, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
