B&W Kitchen Floors

A few years ago we lived in a townhouse with really unfortunate kitchen floors. One day I reached my limit and couldn't take the ugly floors any more. Even though it was a rental I bought two boxes each of black and white peel and stick laminate tiles, and put down a classic checkerboard pattern. Instant (and very inexpensive) fix!

While I love a good checkerboard, there are some really ideas out there for twists on the classic black and white kitchen or bath floors.

Peel and stick tiles are pretty easy to cut and I think it would be cool to try an intricate pattern some time.

In unrelated news, Happy Halloween! It's taken all of my willpower to prevent my kids from wearing their costumes early! Have a wonderful and safe weekend. xx

I'm Floored Again !

I saw this and was absolutely floored by this beautiful space. The stone floors , the patinas that make up this area are soothing to me.
The shape of the staircase , even the hand rail on the staircase is beautiful. I would love to see the rest of this place. I am intrigued.

"Quarried from the seventeenth century in the Languedoc region of France, this stone was used extensively for flagstones in the grand country houses of the area. Today, Antique Barr is reclaimed by a small bands of gypsies and it is as a result of Paris Ceramics’ close contacts in the area that the company is able to control the supply of this stone.
Unusual for its consistent richness, texture and patina from floor to floor, this is one of the few antique flagstones the company is able to supply on a regular basis.
Available in Antique Blonde Barr (large hand-shaped flagstones laid in coursed lengths) and in
Antique Dalle de Blonde Barr (random sizes), these flagstones are in varying tones of golden-beige."
