I'm just not a fan of linoleum...in my mind it's something that belongs in vintage high school cafeterias and old hospital hallways. In it's heyday it was also quite flammable, which kind of freaks me out, but perhaps they've fixed that. I am definitely aware that vinyl and linoleum aren’t the same thing, Nola.

Marmoleum is just a name brand for linoleum, which is old school flooring made from linseed oil and used commonly in the early to mid 20th century. The floors most people think of as linoleum are actually vinyl, a completely artificial ingredient. Real lino, like the Marmoleum brand, is beautiful, but is more expensive than vinyl and harder to find. I think you’re confusing linoleum with vinyl flooring.
