<\/a><\/p>\nMain flooring throughout house<\/strong>– I am likely going to go with? wood but might just be tempted to go with a tile that looks like wood, they have come so far and honestly it is hard to tell them apart. The tile is indestructible and cheaper, while having the beauty of wood, here are some examples of what I like and I bet you can’t even tell which is wood and which is tile!<\/p>\n OK which are wood and which are tile?<\/p>\n Surprise….they are all tile if you can believe it, crazy I know!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rugs-<\/strong> I want rugs for great room and dining area and am possibly going to go with sisal but if I do opt for a more traditional rug it will be a washed out oushak, a favorite. These are from Safavieh…<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n If I do sisal for living\/dining area I would probably opt for one with a pattern like these, love this!<\/p>\n For the stairs sisal is a must…<\/p>\n Bedroom flooring<\/strong>– Though you see a lot of homes with wood throughout the entire home in PB, I really like wall to wall in the bedroom, it just makes everything feel so cozy and warm.<\/p>\n I may do this with a one foot border of wood exposed around the perimeter of the room, which is another popular look, Below are some of the wall to wall carpets I really like, I favor the idea of a subtle pattern\/style then keeping the rest of the room very soft and tonal……<\/p>\n Bathroom flooring-<\/strong> I love marble and used it in all the bathrooms in this house, so will do the same in P.B. It is classically beautiful, stands the test of time and honestly just makes a bathroom feel so luxurious. I will likely use? all neutrals as in whites and creams and might do one in Celeste Blue and white if I? can get a deal on it as it tends to be pricey…..<\/p>\n Celeste blue and Thassos-<\/p>\n How interesting could this be for a beautiful powder room floor! (Tilebar<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n This could be pretty for a powder room or master bath (Tilebar<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n I love white and cream together, we already have this floor from Tilebar<\/em><\/a> but it would not stop be from doing a guest bath in it again:)<\/p>\n Then of course there is the simple understated elegant of beautiful marble herringbone floors, did my sons bathroom in this pattern and love it today as much as I did 4 years ago…..<\/p>\n Outside porch-<\/strong> We are going to have a very large covered porch that runs the entire lenght of the house and I have a feeling it will be a space we use a lot. I love the idea of using a lighter colored brick in a herringbone pattern. Practical, classic and elegant.<\/p>\n So that about covers my ideas on? flooring, these ideas are petty solid and when I love something I commit to it (even if its just in my mind at this point). I hope that once we start the actual building process, it will go expeditiously, as I will want to get busy making decisions and getting things lined up to minimize delays!<\/p>\n I have also started a Pinterest board entitled “Bluff Diaries” for all of my evolving inspiration for this house, at the wee beginnings but its a start! Click here to follow along.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Next few “chapters”? will be on paint, lighting, kitchen ideas, baths, I will break it up by subject until the actual building begins. Thanks for stopping in….have any ideas? Do tell! Until next time…….<\/p>\n PS If you missed my Seven on Sunday post click here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
