When we hear of flagstone, we generally think of it as a flooring material used for patios or other outdoor spaces. Which makes the material really bring in an outdoor feel when it's used indoors. Here are a few kitchens that incorporate beautiful flagstone floors:
We're thinking these would be very hard surfaces, which might require a mat for the work area. Have any readers experienced a flagstone-floored kitchen? Let's hear about your impressions below.

Yeah, that looks painful. I am very tired of kitchen surfaces that are so damn HARD. My stone tile floor and granite counter tops (rental, I would not have chosen these) are very unforgiving.
I work in Merrell's in the kitchen, so my legs have a lot of support...
I am getting used to such hard surfaces here in Europe; most houses and apartments have marble, tile or stone floors, at least in the main living areas. Bedrooms may have wood "parquet" (not the real stuff) on top of concrete, or faux wood flooring (Pergo-esque), again, on top of concrete. Our living area has a faux sisal carpet glued right onto a concrete floor (no underpad).
So I guess I've gotten used to it by now...
Love the 3rd and 4th floors.
The first kitchen is beautiful!
Flagstone is beautiful. The prior owner(s) of our house put lovely textured tile on the work counter and floor (flagstone = textured low-relief). It's a $#@*% to clean, especially in the crevices. Can't wait to demo it and get something more functional.
