Mikey - If you're looking to put down wood/laminate in the house, I just wanted to bring up something for you to consider. Our whole first floor is wood, except for the carpet in the one bedroom and tile in the one bathroom. With the kitchen having a wood floor, it does look great, but it comes with the price of being higher maintenance.
If you spill any liquid on it, you need to clean it up and dry it well, right away....otherwise you risk warping of the boards. Doesn't matter how much poly may be on it. Also, it's good idea to keep small rugs in front of the areas that can easily get wet - in front of the sink, the dishwasher, the fridge, etc.
Personally, we think it looks great in the kitchen and we don't mind it - but I know some people do. Just something for you to think about. Whatever you go with, be sure to take pics for us.
