New Flooring

Back in September our apartment complex offered a choice of a few upgrades if you signed or resigned a 12 month lease... 2" faux wood blinds, a ceiling fan in the living room (which we have already installed on our own), new faucets or new flooring in the kitchen and bathroom(s). We only wanted to sign a 9 month lease, though. After a few conversations about it, Brian and I felt like we deserved an upgrade anyway. Imagine that. Here was our reasoning: We're great tenants. We've lived here for a year and a half; we pay our rent on time every month; we take good care of our apartment; and we recommended our apartment complex to some of our friends (the Clarks) who now live here. Both Brian and I talked to the apartment manager and assistant manage separately and pleaded our case. They agreed with us and we were rewarded with new flooring in our kitchen and both bathrooms! It looks (and is textured) like wood floor, but it's really still just linoleum. I was a little skeptical at first, but was pretty impressed once it was all said and done.
What do ya think?

(I forgot to take some pictures after I put the rugs back in place, so the rooms look pretty naked... Oh well... you get the idea.)
