NEW HOUSE: Butler Pantry Hex tile flooring Inspo

One of the rooms in our new home I am most excited about is our butler’s pantry.  It is a pretty good size and I want to make it super cute and charming.  I want it to feel like you have walked into an old apothecary shop or vintage candy store.  I will be sharing my design board soon, but I have been tons of research to find the perfect hex flooring. 

I want to do hex flooring with some kind of pattern or word in it.  There are lots of options out there, but I am having trouble picking the winner.  I have said it a thousand times, but I want to stay with classic elements in our home.  You cannot go wrong with vintage hex tile.  It is timeless.  I want to make it more fun though with something unique.  Do I want a border?  A pattern?  A word?  Some combo?  So many choices!

Here are some inspiration photos I have been using to help me come up with what is best for this space.

PATTERNS

WORDS

I think I am leaning toward a border with a number or word right at the opening.  I love the way the No. looks in tile and also the way the Co looks in tile, but I just don’t know the number or the word!  HA!  See how hard this is?

This room will be white with a rolling ladder, lots of light, bead board on all the walls and a wallpaper on the ceiling.  Imagine cookbooks, cute glass jars, etc.  HELP!  What do you think I should put?
