THIS OR THAT?: CHECKING IN ON TWO FOYER FLOORS!

Starting off a Monday with a few entryways or foyers to decide between. My grand entrance to the week.

Am focused on the flooring here in these two spaces...checkered floors in entryways or foyers a definite must love!

I found this first photo and loved the micro check tiled entry...a black and white tile mosaic laid on the diagonal...a miniature version of a classic used in so many grand foyers. The size and scale of the tile design is appropriate for this entry into what seems to be a normal house. I think the butterfly print on the wall in this room is quite funny and cute too.

Then there is this second entry below, with grey and white marble tiles set in a checkered pattern and laid on the diagonal.  This larger check floor is more traditional and more indicative of a very grand entrance.  The iron and glass doors seem to mysteriously lead to rooms in what could be a cavernous home. And then there is that formal (but maybe a little too small) entry table greeting guests in a manner fitting of a fine home.  I love grand entrances.

So I ask you today darling readers which foyer flooring do you like better...THIS OR THAT?

All that being said...my favorite is the first photo?  Which is yours?  If you had room for a nice checkered floor, would you go large or small? Or not at all (a rhyme!)?  Do tell.

Happy Monday!
