Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

As an example for searching)

For me, only solid parquet in a herringbone pattern is an option in the living area, but I’m quite particular about that anyway. 🙂

At least the second picture is not a Roman pattern; the first one is hard to assess.

That's right, the second one looks like an alternating pattern of half and third (or quarter?) bonding.

For example, I find hardwood flooring (except for strip parquet) or floorboards timeless. In the entrance area, I would like to install slate tiles, which I also consider timeless. For outdoor areas, granite stones, which I also find timeless...

Genuine slate? Natural stones like that would be too sensitive for my taste.

I’m not sure, but herringbone pattern can be done this way. And yes, it’s not exactly easy to install, especially when you have corners to work around like we do.

Long hallway with brown-beige natural stone tiles, white walls, and open door frames.

Yes, there are options for around 30-40€/m² (3-4 USD/ft²). However, there are also fake tiles available, which is not my preference because they look like plastic. Does “mimosig” mean sad?

I find something like this quite nice.


Empty living space with dark tiled floor, large window front, and wooden rocking horse.


The good thing is that slate conducts underfloor heating very well.

mimosig = sensitive.
I prefer it to be easier to wipe clean rather than strongly rustic.
