So, why didn't you want to keep the original wood floors? I have wood floors in my kitchen and I love it. Easy to clean, easy on the feet, more warmth than tile on cold winter mornings, stuff doesn't _always_ break when dropped.... (Though, radiant heat under cork would be ultra yummy.)
I have wood in the bathroom, too. Though, there it's patched and needs help. When we finally get around to redoing the bathroom, I may very well fix the wood and keep it there, too.
