There's just something about a black and white floor that excites me.
They can look formal

or more relaxed.

They can be old

or new.

And can be found in practically any room of the house.

I think they have an elegance to them no matter where they are.
And weirdly enough, I think my fondness for black and white floors came from watching The Beverley Hillbillies as a child. Their grand entryway had black and white tiles and I thought it was soooo fancy.
So I guess you could say I get my inspiration from The Beverley Hillbillies?
As a matter of fact, now that I am looking at their truck, maybe my love of junk and thrifty finds comes from that TV show also.
I am joining Debra at Common Ground's Vintage Inspiration Friday. Stop on over to see more inspiring ideas.

Me too, marble, tile or painted wood, they really are sooo classy. I'm really laughing about the Beverly Hillbillies. We all do kinda love the idea of piling junk in our cars and trucks. really great post, thanks for linking in to VIF!!

I'm crazy for black and white anything.... But floors are my fav. They are just sooo darn zippy, aren't they?
Have a wonderful week.
Warm Blessings,

the Beverly Hillbillies as design inspiration! I swear I had a brief flashback to the entrance/foyer of their house as I was searching black and white floor. And then someone commented on the very same thing! How hilarious!!
