The picture below is the closest I've found to my intended general itnention for interior finishes on all levels. Shooting for fairly neutral and natural finishes, then decorate with splashes of color -- especially Swiss red (without going overboard, of course). I want durable, low maintenance, and fun without being too "cabiny" (word?). Needs to be warm and cozy, too. But I don't want dirty, dingy, or dusty.
Polished concrete floors (radiant heated). Super durable and rustic. I'll expose wood beams wherever I can and where it makes sense. But I'm not going to be too religious about exposing or covering up everything.
Walls will be a combination of standard sheet rock, with at least one wall in every room showing rustic or natural wood planks. Distressed would make a nice contrast against the concrete.
There's also something rolling around my head inspired by Chiptole restaurant decor and their plywood wall treatments. Not sure what yet, but I do like the back-lit treatment on these.
In bathrooms, I'm planning on the latest wood-grained ceramic tiles. The bathroom below is perhpas a bit overkill on the woodgrain tile, but you get the idea.
Maybe some tile a little closer to the below.
