        Does anybody have any experience with putting some of the green flooring options in a bathroom? I am particularly interested in the marmoleum and bamboo floor. Are these a good idea or a bad idea? I would appreciate any thoughts especially from those who have used these products. Thanks!

        I'd also like to know if anyone that has real linoleum in their bathroom has had a problem with mildew growth on it.

        Dear cfd4,
        Consider DECOUPAGE FLOORS. I have been installing these for clients for 22 years, done tons of bathroom floors - no probs. Great coloring possibilities, not cold and hard like tile, no need to wax like stained cement, environmentally green, sophisticated look, plus paper creates a natural radiant barrier so it feels soft and warm on bare feet! Lots more reasons to consider decoupage floors. I sell a 'how to' video if you are interested. Google it or YouTube. It's a fabulous DIY process for any room in the house.

        Decoupage sounds like an interesting idea. Can this be applied directly to a subfloor or do you have to install something else first. Currently the bathroom has carpeting.

        Decorating is a way which can improve the productivity of a home. With the flooring, I think you should go through the tiles floor which is easy to clean. Though, the marmoleum flooring is also a good option. My brother has used this got the best result of it. To making your bathroom more luxurious you can go through the restore antique chandelier, to enhance the more beauty into your bathroom.You can easily install these lighting fixture through http://www.expertlightinginc.com/repair.html who offers the best services for chandeliers.
