I love the tiny hexagonal black bathroom tiles.  It reminds me of the bathrooms in Midway, but less charming, more graphic.  I imagine sweeping would be a beast, but it's beautiful.

These floors are gorgeous.  I love the knots and wear and warp. 

On the other hand, we are currently learning why wood floors make a house so noisy...  There would need to be a good deal of rugs, curtains, and furniture to muffle the sounds.

I really like this striped floor. It's simple and graphic, a little bit more of a modern take on the checkered floor pattern. I love the little pop of red on the low cupboard in the back. They balance out well.

Typically you see the black and white checkered floor, but the gray is quite nice, too. Less bold and distracting, but still attractive.

This is the perfect rug for Dave. Flor is awesome!

I am a fan of the painted wood floor- here's another design.

So this floor is made from wine crates. And though I am no connoisseur of fine wines, or bad wines really, I think I love it. We could also make it out of apple or orange crates or something that actually has meaning to us.

Oh how I love these colors: the bright yellow, medium and light blue, with touches of orange... Though those Lucite Queen Anne chairs make me want to puke a bit.

Charcoal grey cabinets... (See, Dave, I'm not the only who likes them). And notice the apron sink with the metal front. Also cool: the butcher's block counter, the plank ceiling, and the tile floor (travertine?).

1. Love the giant checkered floors. Classic kitchen tiles.
2. Beautiful crown molding. It's is giant, but the scale works with such a large room and that fact that it's paint color matched the wall.
3. Shaker style cabinets.
4. Amazing windows. These would be a little harder to get...

I like how these floors are rough hewn and wide.

Here's that herringbone pattern again. I love it. Especially with the ebony stained wood. But it bothers me in the back left room where the herringbone pattern changes into a vertical wider plank. I think you need to pick one pattern for an area that does not cross over to another pattern without carpet or something to break them up.

Dark, thin slatted wood in a herringbone pattern...

Also, the black shelving in a white room is pretty ballsy. I love it.

I love just about everything this room. But I absolutely love white vintage fireplace; the dark, thin floorboards; and the combination of modern wire chairs paired with the worn wooden table.

These baseboards are pretty sweet, too.

Love that ceilings don't need to be ignored. The box pattern is so classic and crisp. They pose some problems that need to be thought out before installation, but can look amazing if processed well.

Also, I love the industrial lights in their own right, but also how they butch the room up a bit. These would be great in an Urban Nautical or Industrial Casual house. Yes, Industrial Casual is my new phrase. Or until I think of a better name for it.

Love the apron sink. I have never thought of having just a wall of windows before. I imagine this is expensive to install and to heat. Any expert opinion, Dave?
