We make our first home depot run and find tile for around $2/sq. foot. The total includes backer board, screws, grout and all that. We decide that in order to give the floor a custom look (as opposed to the cookie cutter home depot special) , we need to mix it up a little. We buy some ceramic tile that looks kind of like stained concrete in two different tones. Luckily Matt knows how to do this stuff. But let me back up -- the worst of the worst has to take place first. We spend countless man hours; use a heating gun, boiling water, a box cutter, all other sorts of tools and many hours arguing before the floor is finally stripped. %@#$# cushioned backed linoleum! Be forewarned if you undertake such a feat-- there will be swearing and maybe a few tears.
