We have an entryway that we are going to lay down slate tiles in the entryway down the hallway and eventually in the entire kitchen. My concern is that I want to keep the living room's origional hardwood floor after we remove the "Laminated Flooring" it currenlty has on it. I'm not really sure what condition it is in but I am assuming that it is probably the same condition as the rest of the hardwood that was through out the house. What is the best way to transition the slate to the hardwood. I have thought about bullnosed slate but I don't think that I am going to be able to find the correct coloring or the slate we purchased. The slate was purchased from Homedepot their stock slate with varies widely in color. From what I have seen the bullnosed slate is mainly just gray in color. Thanks!
