       I love the flooring tile in the hallway of my building. Since 1954 it’s been buffed every Sunday: giving it the luster of deep time.  I love that when they patched it near the elevator (where it was used most often) they could only find black tiles that didn’t quite match. The scattered white spots on the dark background remind me of a starry night sky. The black squares are the unknown void.I think part of interior design is recognizing what you love: what doesn’t need to be updated.

       @futurebird Allowing for wear to add beauty, such an underrated part of architecture.

       I need to talk about this in the coop meetings so they don't replace it. Just stand up and do a poem about how much I love the floor and how sad I'd be if it were gone. They "updated" our lobby and it's... it's fine, the floor wasn't level and it was time. But, I'd rather they spend more on other things and not mess with the halls.

       @hwll I'm going through a phase as I slowly realize I've been living in the same place for 20 years and plan to stay for at least 20 more. So... gotta think about space a little.

       @DavidM_yeg I had to pull up some tile that was beyond help in my kitchen ten years ago so I had to test that tile before I did that obviously, I secretly got a scrap from the hall too and tested it because I am paranoid and didn't really buy the "just leave it be" philosophy. It's not asbestos. Which is sad news if we have a fire I suppose. I now think the "just don't touch it" can work too though.

       @futurebird Love it! I'm a sucker for midcentury industrial design. Those tiles remind me of the polished flooring of my childhood in public schools. Save the tiles!I also have a terrazzo fetish. LOL. My dream home would have heated terrazzo flooring throughout.
