I want to pull up the floors and do slate instead as it will be more durable and practical for the kitchen especially with two dogs that go in and out through the kitchen but just can't bring myself to start yanking up flooring. Kudos on a job well done.

One thing to note with slate tile. It varies in thickness from piece to piece. Which means an uneven surface. Kitchens it's okay. But anywhere you actually have furniture I would advise against it. Furniture with 4 legs will wobble. Not so bad with a couch because you can just shim it. But dinig room chairs/bar stools are rarely in the same place.

I do more porcelain/ceramic than slate. There are some nice gel mats from bed bath and beyond that take away the discomfort most feel from standing on tile for long periods. Just get those and place them at the work stations.
