The doorbell chimes or the grasscloth wallpaper?

I would keep the chimes and the wallpaper if they are still in good condition and as long as they are not in your way or interrupting any style you're trying to achieve. The light fixture however looks out of place. I vaguely remember that kind of faux Victorian look coming into style in the 70s and it always seemed out of place.

I don't care forthe grasscloth color with your woodwork. Get rid of the light. Keep the chimes

It was the light and the chimes I was talking about. I like the grass cloth wall paper

I'd keep the chimes (and the wallpaper). If the fixture is the only bit of 1960s Regency in the house, I would consider replacing it.

If there is 1960s regency in lots of places, maybe I would keep it. Many essentially contemporary houses of the period were "modern" in that they were not traditional, but they don't really fit the definition of MCM, especially how it is applied today. These contemporary houses had lots of flourishes inside, like fancy faucets and cabinet hardware--vaguely French was popular. Although purists may sniff at it because it's not modernist, it was pretty common and there is really nothing more "authentic" to your particular house than the stuff that was originally put in it. The grasscloth could be very old. My parents had grasscloth installed in the mid 1970S and the last time I saw a picture inside the house, it was still there.

Thank you

I totally remember seeing that in ranch homes growing up so I assoc it with the 70's but makes sense that it was the 60's (and just still in people's homes). I remember a lot of large clunky dark wood furniture with ornate carvings, ornate lamps with plastic colored glass panels and a lot of these types of chandeliers. Btw found this on pinterest. It's just a rendering but gives an idea of how the contrasting themes might work together.

Now for my next issue. Flooring. We are going to redo all the hardwood floors but they are not in the kitchen or family room. So we want to vinyl flooring in those spaces to complement the wood in the other parts of the house.

I’m Trying to show pictures of the LR hardwood. It’s not letting me for some reason

if you can, I would try to do the same flooring throughout. Either an LVP or a hardwood that is made for kitchens. If you go to the hardwood route, someone else will need to opine on best option as I have LVP.

if you must really have a different floor in the kitchen, then you could go slate or have some fun and lean into a modern take terrazzo.

i'm not a fan of the thick white grout lines in these but a couple of more options. (excuse the screen shot).

The chimes and the light fixture need to go (especially the light). This embracing of vintage will have your home looking like you furnished it with rummage sale or Goodwill castoffs. I would not use a dark slate in kitchen and family room since your hardwood floor is dark already and I don't see a lot of windows. I suggest getting rid of the light sconce by the fireplace and painting/staining the fireplace mantel the same shade as your beams.

Mannington/Amtico has some stone-look LVT options that are not as active as what is currently there. Less obvious movement and pattern.

Those are beautiful. Thank you.
The installer is now suggesting a glue down. Any recommendations for that?

I think those are glue-down.

Also look at the Armstrong Terra terrazzo style tile:

Thank you this is very helpful!

Thank you

I’ve researched the Armstrong and Mannigton flu down vinyl floor tiles and like the look but most of the floor people I talk to say there’s a lot of maintenance involved.
Was told I’d have to strip it reapply wax and buff with a buffing machine at lease every 6 months. Is that true?

The wood planks have been removed from the FR and the glue down tile from the kitchen.

Under the kitchen tiles was linoleum that looks like Terrazzo but is not in good condition

You don't have to do the commercial "wet look" high gloss surface with a buffing machine. But you will periodically strip off wax and reapply. Watch some YouTube videos to see what is involved.

What glue down vinyl tiles are you talking about? LVT, like LVP does not require wax or buffing.

VCT (Vinyl Composite Tile) requires waxing. Mannington stopped manufacturing VCT years ago.

Armstrong has VCT in their commercial line, but I don't thing they have any in their residential lines.

This is what was recommended to me by another person on this post https://www.armstrongflooring.com/commercial/en-us/products/lvt-luxury-flooring/terra.html
