We finished up the tile! A little further behind schedule than planned, but c'est la vie :) We love the final product, but these were a pain! Bc each piece naturally has some "warp" to it, with their length, they can be difficult to get leveled out, so that you don't have toe stubbers, and of course, the narrower the grout line (which makes it look more "wood authentic"), the trickier it is.
Here's an in-progress:
Tile is done! Time to put things back, and put up new trim:

So, my husband and I could not seem to reach a consensus on what type of flooring to put in the kitchen. He wanted tile, "because of all the moisture," and I wanted wood, because it looks nice, is softer underfoot and you don't have to worry about cleaning out grout lines. We went shopping at Lowes, and what did we find?.... Wood tiles! Well, they are porcelain really, but they use an inkjet printer to make them look like wood, and they actually look pretty good, and at $2.99/ sq ft, they price is right. Here is a shot of them
Each plank is 6" x 24", so you can lay them in the same floor designs that you would actual wood planks. Right now, we are trying to decide between herring bone,
or just plain horizontal or straight.
Anyway, I cannot wait to get the tile in there instead of the nasty linoleum!
Here is how it looks at the moment- ripped up 80's linoleum:
