There is just something about black and white check that makes my heart sing....
Look at this kitchen! The floor "makes" this room look perfect!
OH, Isn't this tile so much fun? I could see a kitchen or bathroom back splash done in this...or a simple bar area....or MAYBE an old armoire turned into a liquor cabinet with this as a back splash..........hmmmmmmmmm.....
And look at this tiny bathroom....Isn't it so sweet? Perfect balance of patterns without going TOO overboard.
And look at this mosaic I made using Flickr tools. (see side bar in my blog to access my Flickr account and see credits for photos.) Isn't it fun?
Now that my creative juices are flowing, maybe I will post something I have done in my own home to share with you....like that liquor cabinet...

You know what? I think I am about to redo my kitchen. I absolutely Love the black and cream floor! I can't stop looking at it. WOW!
Wow! We once had a 1930s fireplace with black checks and, strangely, a few flowers - it worked! It was hard to leave the fireplaces in that house behind when we moved to France.
It's been good to discover your blog and read the words from Scripture - you have really encouraged me tonight!
Thanks,
Floss

So inspiring! I love, love, love black and white, and any other color thrown in with it! The colors are so vibrant and cheery. That kitchen is ever so pretty! I could see me soaking in that tub reading some favorite magazines, too!
Swing by for a visit sometime...

I "linked" my way over, and you had me at that checker floor! I love finding neat spots like this...Cathy
I love black and white too..our whole farm house is done in black, cream and dark red accents. I was just out visiting new blogs and found yours. Enjoyed my visit!
I do like black and white checks -- especially on the floor -- but alas, there is nothing here that I can do that treatment (sigh) Love that kitchen -- from the first time I saw it and the floor makes it so special
Thanks for sharing!
I love black and white to!

Checks are the greatest. They just add cheeriness and punch to a room.

Delish! I love black and white too...it's so graphic, isn't it?
Warm blessings,

That is the best look for a bathtub I have ever seen.
To me, the older tubs have an inside and outside ???
It seems your tub has both, if you catch my drift. The outside has taken that rougher look away and made it classy.
i really like it !
