I love the striped banquette with the pop of lime green accent pillows. So fresh and fun.

This floor is actually stained with black stain to make the diamond pattern in the flooring. Notice the black trim tile outlining the counter.

What amazing light this kitchen is getting through all these wondeful windows. Nothing prettier to me than a light filled room with checked floors.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at black and white floors as much as I have. It is fun opening up an inspiration file and finding so many lovelies. It is kind of like getting the Sears Roebuck Christmas catalog when we were children.

Discovering how beautiful black and white floors can be!

Kathysue! My word, that first space is AMAZING. Dramatic and stylish all in one.
Kathysue how wonderful I just absolutely adore black and white floors For me it is like getting the David Jones catalogue!!!!!
Kathysue, these are all just wonderful. I love them. I still think your bathroom is the prettiest. Hugs, Marty
Great post! One day I will have a black and white checkered floor in my kitchen!
I love black and white floors too and especially like it if they are painted that way. The image of the kitchen with the painted floors is what I'm talking about! Also, love how those apple green pillows popped in the other kitchen. Great post Kathysue.
Generally, I think I would like it...but I have a head cold and when looking it , it made me dizzy, really! ha!
The Charleston porch is beautiful, and I love the detail on the floor of Mrs. Howards entry. The stained kitchen floor is great too :-)

The first photo would be my favorite, so dramatic and if you are going for it why not go all the way. Enjoy the holiday weekend. XO
Beautiful images. How classic black and white look together on these floors. Love the painted one!

OMG love these black and white floors! Simply gorgeous!!
Come check out my first giveaway!! So excited about it!!
Luvs!
Kathysue, I will have to say that floor with the boards stained black and white is my favorite. I love any wood surface where the wood shows thru the paint...
such a great post!
Kathysue
Not only are the floors are inspiring but other items in the rooms as well such as fabrics, artwork and accent colors.
Thanks for a great post.

LOVE black & white!! Have to have my red along too though. :-) I would definitely have a black & white floor if this space were mine. Your bath is great! My guest bath is done in black & white, zebra style.
xoxo

So classic! So beautiful!
Kristin
I adore a black & white checkerboard floor turned on the diagonal. Have had this floor installed in every house I have lived in - I never tire of it!
I'm gaga over all those floors. There is something about classic black and white that gets you everytime!! It's no wonder you smile every time you look at yours :)

Some very beautiful floors here.(Entire rooms actually). I really like the ones with the larger patterns. The bigger the better. The kitchen with large black and white stripe on the bench and bright green pillows really caught my eye. Thanks for sharing.
What beautiful inspirational pictures, KathySue!..Christine
I absolutely love the black and white flooring for a kitchen! Had that in my first (tiny) apartment, and I think it would work so well in a beach themed cottage too!
Oh, I love these! I especially love the black and white with the pop of lime, that is one of my favorite design combinations! XO!
Love the Charleston Porch and the painted black and white hardwoods (although I'd never have the nerve). Reminds me of my Grandma's kitchen and breakfast room as they had the black and white floors. Fun post!
A black and white floor is much like a white subway tile or a antique, timeless... love your images.
