If you can get used to tripping, or don't mind taking a tiny step up, try covering all that with a layer of thinset to level the floor (it'll fill everything in and seal the current disaster). After that, try laying cork tile or something that's not likely to crack in 5 years. Before you pour the thinset, you'd have to do some minor prep like cleaning, sanding, more cleaning and making a board "tray" at the doorway and around the toilet hole so the thinset doesn't spill over. If you don't want to take the time to pry up the existing tile, you'll have to seal it all off somehow anyway.

The more commonly used hair products and a spiffy container of cotton swabs. I sort of have a "collection" of hair products for different occasions/weather/types of bad hair days, but most of them reside in the cabinet under my sink. I'm still hunting for the right over-the-toilet wall shelf. :)

Isn't it the same as this (Ligne Roset's "Togo")</a href>, only slip-covered?

If the concrete isn't sealed, you absolutely need some kind of moisture barrier and not just a plastic sheet. The right kind of underlay is really important as the concrete probably won't be totally flat - you don't want the planks to teeter on a high point or lift at a corner for someone to trip on. You're lucky that this is in a house. If you were in an apartment-style property, you'd have to dish out for a 90dB sound barrier type of underlay. Avoid using carpet underlay as that's typically made up of foam bits and won't act as a moisture barrier at all (you have to preserve both sides of the wood plank) and can actually help fungus to grow under your nice wood floor. Also, try to get tongue-and-groove or click-lock flooring so you don't have to glue down every piece.

Looks like this one was just posted yesterday as well... Different content and author, same people & design. I guess this is a popular one for making it to both OregonLive & The Oregonian!
