Why do people install expensive hardwood flooring in their kitchens, the place where you are most likely to drop food, cutlery, spill liquids, etc? (lemmy.ml)

Seems like a terrible idea to me.

You make one mistake one time and bingo, you cost yourself a few grand to have it sanded, leveled, varnished, and polished.

Welcome to the 70's-80's when carpeting was de rigueur for bathrooms and kitchens.

Fun story ... my son was a climber so all food was in the highest cupboards. One time I needed a bathroom break, and in under 5 minutes he'd dragged a kitchen chair to the counter, climbed up, took down the flour and dumped it all over his little sister. Honest to gawd all I could see of her was her dark eyes in a cloud of white.

And just to boost his creativeness here, he decided to move the chair to the sink, grabbed a cup of water and they started making flour pies on the carpet.

Gotta love kids!
