Not trying to start a flame war here......We've got a bout an inch and a 
half difference between the original hard wood in our dining room (110 
year old craftsman) and the multiple layers (elcheapo kitchen laminant 
over very thick plywood--installed by a PO--over the original hardwood 
floor) on the kitchen floor. Even with a transition piece of wood, it is 
a pain and does not look right. Do yourself a favor and try to avoid 
this approach.
