We took a lot of photos of the floor at the gite!
You might have noticed the lovely tiled floor in our living area.
The entire of the house (which was about 100 years old) was floored with these incredible tiles.
Each bedroom had its own design!
This was mine and Ben's - we were up in the lofty (and stuffy) heights of the servants' rooms, but even the servants had been given patterned floors.
I think this one was my favourite.
It really gave the house a wonderful vintage character.

Looking at those patterns brings quilting to mind!
What a beautiful floor. I wouldn't like the job of cleaning it though! SueXXX
Lovely tiles though have to say I wouldn't want to go back to tiles all over now especially in winter!

What beautiful tiles, and you're right about giving the place character. xx
That dining room is amazing!
Wow what a lot of creativity back then. It's a shame this sort of thing is only for the rich these days. Not that I want patterned tiles in my house or anything!! But it's nice to look at anyway.
Hi Floss, I am Janes sister Linda and I wanted to thank you for your lovely thoughts and prayers for our Dad Mick. Today I had the wonderful news that he has finally turned a corner and is on the way to a full recovery. Your Mum is in my thoughts and prayers.
