When I moved into my house the kitchen had a black and white checkerboard floor and I hated it! That was because they'd also put in a black and white checked backsplash...black appliances and red walls. It was too much. I changed the backsplash to all white and that immediately helped. I put in a white frig and home to one day soon have a white stove and white dishwasher. You can have too much of a good thing. I also painted over the red walls. My kitchen looked like a fast food restaurant when I moved in and now it looks vintage and pretty.Nita Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833196166679983378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803438449305071948.post-40759744167640997932013-03-04T15:49:22.163-06:002013-03-04T15:49:22.163-06:00I love checkerboard floors.

I have redone my kitchen in retro/vintage and just wasn't sure what to do with the floors, and this is perfect. I recall I had wanted to do checkerboard long ago, but for whatever reason decided against it. Now I am all for it. It would be perfect, now that I've seen it in a yellow kitchen. Looks wonderful!

Eight years ago we did our kitchen, laundry room and a small dining room (the grandkids' dining table) in black and white ceramic tile checkerboard and I have never tired of it. It can look retro, sophisticated or anywhere in-between. As the old ads you featured showed, it has been popular a long time and I think will remain popular.<br /><br />What I hate is that I chose to ignore my husband's plea for black grout. I insisted on white grout. Guess how long that grout stayed white. Not very long. <br /><br />Husbands can be very wise--sometime!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803438449305071948.post-36839020641702506082013-02-25T12:51:37.591-06:002013-02-25T12:51:37.591-06:00What fun pictures!
