    and the epoxy to help secure the large ones. It would cost more but might be less stress on the joints for moving.

Flooring: Can two different type of hardwood floors close together still work

I plan on replacing my kitchen floor with tile that looks like hardwood. At that time I plan on replacing the kitchen floor I would like to replace my hallway which the kitchen is off of. The problem is the hallway stops just short of my dining room which is hardwood. I don't want to match floor colors nor do I have the money to replace the dining room floor.

Do you think having two different color floors that close together is a wrong way to go?

    complimentary to the existing hardwood and maybe picking up some that matches the existing to use as an accent..... kind of making it an easier transition?
