Miles of Tile

Tile floors in living rooms always seems cheap to me. I've seen House Hunting shows where the people are looking at homes in say, Costa Rica, and all of the homes have tile floors throughout. That makes sense in a warm-weather climate, but not in the chilly Midwest. A tile living room floor in the Chicago area in winter begats cold tootsies. Why would somebody want tile living room floors in a cold climate? Unless it's to make it easier to hose down the cat and dog poop collecting in the corners...you never know.

Anycheap, here's a tile living room floor, with not even a rug to soothe your feet and soften the cheaposity.
