I'm feeling really drawn to 24" tiles. I just love the grandeur of them. To me, they really open up a space.
The tile in these rooms just screams spacious to me and I like it.
So running with that idea, I've been thinking of flooring for my dream house and what I would like to do to the kitchen once we demo it to enlarge and add a breakfast room. And I am just gaga over this:
Phelans
That wood and tile combo is the cat's meow! It gives the feel of the larger tile that I love and the walnut planks warms up the kitchen nicely as well as ties into the cabinetry.
I also think it will tie into the rest of the house... (look at me planning the flooring in a house I don't have yet, here's to wishful thinking) as I want tile in the foyer and rich, dark hardwood on all the floors.
Like this for the foyer:
And this for the rest of the flooring:
I just love how crisp these looks are.
If any of these images are yours, please let me know so I may credit you or remove, if you wish. I can't for the life of me remember where I found them.

I love the really dark, rich wood against the light colored anything.. the entryway picture is just great. I love when designers get creative and mix together different materials and styles. It always turns out so cool. Great blog :)
I love them to! My dad has them at his place, they are also good to clean.
