Orange swirly lino which was stuck to the lovely floorboards ( we sanded them down when we eventually got rid of it and they were gorgeous). I suppose that was the trend at the time. Black tiles?

The new floor is an improvement tho and I look forward to seeing the room finished. Can't believe you painted over all your hard work, I thought it was a lovely folk-arty design. The lettering on the window is very impressive.
