You’re gonna love these four homes with their ugly checkerboard tile patterns.
House #1: They weren’t satisfied with checkerboard on the floor. They went up the wall and then added micro-checkerboard to the backsplash. The walls and cabinets are ugly too.
House #2: The checkerboard tile stops at the living room’s edge. Then they faux painted the wall to resemble flagstone. [eyes rolling]
House #3: They couldn’t find more black and white tiles so they improvised. This impresses buyers? They also bought a new oven (left side) and kept the original late-1950s oven.
House #4: A Boston home with checkerboard on the kitchen walls.

Ok, Ok - I did say I like black and white checkerboard.
But only on the FLOOR in a SMALL kitchen, set on the diagonal. I can see how other people hate it, when done badly.

That flagstone/mural, How is this done? Is it… sponge painting?
The checkerboard pattern is nice. But two different patterns, brick borders, wallpaper and flagstone in one room it’s too much.

This is awful. I think the home improvement stores have been our downfall.
