ROOMS WITH A CHECKERED FLOOR

I have always loved the look of floors with a checkered pattern.
Here are some pictures showing some that I think look really great.

I'm not sure if this is a front or back entry (due to the dog food bowls) but
 either way it's very inviting.

Here's a large scale version that showcases the hardwood floors as
 well as the checkered pattern.

You know I love this blue and white floor.

I like how the flooring in this entry/hallway area separates it
 from the rest of the room.

Classis black and white.

So pretty.

A checkered pattern can be achieved with paint or stain - beautiful
 tone on tone pattern on this hardwood floor.

This kitchen has an unexpected color combination on the floor ~
so cheerful ~ wouldn't it just make you smile?  

Gray and white ~ what's not to love in this Scandinavian style space? 

Here is another gray and white floor but this one is very subtle.
Doesn't it look beautiful with the marble countertops?

Whether big scale or small, formal or casual, a floor with a checkered pattern
can be really beautiful and add that something special to a room.

Have you ever had a checkered floor or would you like to?

Thanks A Bunch For Visiting!

  8. They are all so charming. I love the last three, a bit more neutral. I would love to have painted wood floors in my kitchen. I'd have to get wood first though - they're vinyl now - yuck!

  9. I love checkered floors too, but all our floors are wood, and Mr. C would never let me paint them. They have such a charming look to them, and I absolutely love the blue and white one. I think it's the first time I've seen one in blue?

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre
