I'm not one for playing chess, but I do have a bit of a fascination with
checkerboard patterns. I seem to find it each time I'm in France.
Such as the picture above, which was taken in Paris at the historic Galerie Véro-Dodat.
And then this one at Versailles. Marie Antoinette's Grand Trianon.

Would you care for a checkerboard floor in your house?

Wouldn't want one in my own house but it looks lovely in all these pictures. I want to go to France now!!!
I love that pattern and love it in my house!! Beautiful photos!! xx
I don't know if I'd want it in my own home... but you do make a very convincing argument!
I love it so I hope to put it in my laundry next time. Fiona
Had a checkerboard floor in my house growing up and I loved it! I chose my first apartment almost solely on the fact that it had checkerboard floors.
