Great house - love the carport! Is this in the Alexandria area? I remember seeing some houses like this near ours (in Wessynton). We should swap DC 60s house tips!

We have a 60s modern house in Virginia and are planning concrete for our kitchen. We have a nice slate stone in the entryway which looks great, and hardwood in the living spaces. Agree that concrete or stone in living spaces might be too cold, but if you want to use it you could limit it to kitchen or entry as we have. I've also heard great things about cork; we are considering it for one of our 'transitional' spaces which is currently a linoleum casualty.

Hey everyone - thanks for all the fabulous suggestions! We have been debating this one since we moved in in November, because we also love the space and want to make sure we show it off. Will update when we have an 'after'. Thanks again - you guys are great!!
