Has anyone used any flooring other than tile or linoleum in the bathroom ? OUr house in Simpsonville had a bathroom with the pergo-style flooring, but it was just a half-bath and we only lived there a year.

wreck or mend. If you do put in carpet, be sure to "not miss".

Thats a good place for the wood looking tile planks

I've even seen in it a shower, and now high end boats are doing that.
I wouldn't put plastic (LUXURY-lulz vinyl tile) floors in a doghouse, but that's just me.

Go to lumber liquidators.

I'm sure they have some that doesn't smell like Chinese embalming fluid.
But srsly, go to lumber liquidators and get some wide planking engineered hardwood. If its a $1 more psf, how much have you really spent?

Don't take house advice from this guy. LL sells cheap chinese floors full of chemicals. Any wood floor $5/sf or less is junk and that is exactly what LL sells. Look for $8/sf+ range for the quality stuff.

I like the look.

I'm not sure how trendy it will be, and in 15 years everyone will be making fun of it like carpet, but its looks fresh now. Anything that won't look trendy in 15 years will be so bland that it will look cheap now.

I'd look really hard at wood planks from pallets. That's all the rage now as far as home improvement goes.
